Sudo is your friend, what do you need to use your root account for exactly? A bigger pain is restoring after a compromise.

I am guessing you already figured this out given another message you had sent. Ndiswrapper is IMO a bad idea. My last laptop would not accept different wireless cards so I used a USB one instead of the horrible ndiswrapper. Needless to say I no longer have that POS HP laptop. My next laptop will be a Dell with Intel hardware through and through. If there are no open source or upstream drivers, I will not buy that hardware.
