A patch is a source code modification (usually in the form of a "diff" file)
which adds functionality or fixes a bug.  What you have provided is a script
which attempts to disable the Linux driver for Broadcom cards and use
ndiswrapper in place of it.  Scripts like this one often cause unexpected
problems for users who run them.  This is either because they do not
understand the script's purpose, or because it contains bugs.  Therefore, we
prefer to accept contributions of patches, and prefer not to disseminate
scripts like this one.
