I'm a little fuzzy on the patch thing. In my experience, I've just placed that patch file in the same folder as the file I want to patch and then run something like patch -p1 >filename, but I'm not sure how that will work in this instance.

I would suggest starting a new thread, specifically for discovering how to correctly patch that file, but continue this one for the wireless (once the file is patched).

I would still suggest trying the ndiswrapper option first, just to make sure the card is working correctly and what not. ndiswrapper is easy to set up, and once it works you simply unmerge it to get back to working on the native driver. If ndiswrapper doesn't work, I doubt the native driver will either.

Well, to make things worse, it's not just one file patched, but it can be compiled in one patch.
I'll start another thread in regards to this.

Thank you for the help so far.
