Linux HOWTO #1: How to install and use ndiswrapper

LINUX HOWTO 1st installment (Errata: see below) This is the first in a new series called Linux HOWTOS. Every week I will post a video explaining how to accomplish something using a GNU/Linux operating system. Please write requests for installments in the comments! This installment deals with using ndiswrapper to use Windows wireless drivers in Linux. Hardware manufacturers often don’t release specifications of their products to the open source community, so programs like ndiswrapper become necessary. If you have any questions, please ask in the comment field, and I or someone else will do our best to answer. Please avoid ’RTFM’-style answers. They are not welcome. Also please post corrections if I mistakenly give some wrong information. I hope this project will serve as a valuable resource for people wanting to make the switch from a proprietary operating system to Linux. ***Errata*** If you are using ndiswrapper but have a native kernel module
