@Dave Oh.... So, if I manage to remove that driver I should be able to start up my system again? Does ndiswrapper make a copy/store the loaded driver anywhere? Or does it operate the driver off its original directory? (I need to try using Windows or GRUB2 to delete the driver I suppose, since for some reason neither LiveUSBs or LiveCD/DVDs can be booted by the BIOS) As for needing ndiswrapper, before downloading it originally, i checked for Linux support for the wireless device and there wasn't any (based from a list of supported devices, i think the page was somewhere in Ubuntu/Linux's WiFiDocs. The same page referred me to this package. If there are alternatives, I would gladly consider giving them a try, since I haven't enough experience in Linux to do anything but heed advice and ndiswrapper hasn't exactly been cooperating.
