I'm as frustrated as anyone by this, but that's not an appropriate
comment.
People should realize the source hasn't been verified, therefore, using
the patch is basically putting *unknown binary code* directly into your
Linux kernel, bypassing any and all security on your system.
It *could* be a classic "trojan horse": pretending to be a WiFi driver,
but instead being a root-kit.
Not advocating that is hardly justification for your put-downs and foul
language.
