So does that mean I can never use my wireless hardware?
For the time being and for someone who is self evidently not a kernel programmer the right answer is to either replace the internal PCIe card (if it is a laptop) or use a USB WiFi card. Both of which you can buy from Thinkpenguin. Look on YouTube for how-to videos for opening your model of laptop if you fancy the PCie/half height PCIe card whichever your machine needs.
When I say it's a 'bad mess' I mean _delete_ any copy of it you have and empty the Wastebin. The source describes itself as 'an unpublished work', which is the term used in pre-release proprietary source to make any industrial espionage a particularly bad bust. AIUI typically these sort of things take months or more to sort out. So replace it is better for having something working in a sensible time.
