I can do most of those, I am just really wondering why you want to see how to patch wine or install custom kernel drivers :P

Heck one of the first machines I actually used Linux on productively was my Hp DV225NR notebook, with its broadcom 443 wireless chipset. Back then the only way to get it to work was to use ndis wrapper or install a custom module and use fcutter to get the firmware out and then patch it -.-

Before that I had my old Desktop and I was using Suse 9.2 with my radeon 9800pro all in wonder. This was like, ubuntu 6.04 time-line so the ati drivers back then were atrocious. I remember falling asleep at my keyboard and waking up to having 3d acceleration and not remembering how I did it.

I am actually a Software Engineer by schooling and Im about 15 weeks from graduating. There's all sorts of weird things I could explain. :P
