Awesome!  Glad to hear it.

This loops through each file that ends in .conf in the /etc/ndis... 
directory.  Every file that's found it executes the cat $confile.

You could see if you get the same results if you did each one by hand as 
root.

You'd do something like this to test that.  
//Don't type lines like this.  They're for your benefit.  

 - su   //change to the superuser, or root.  Be careful!
 - cd /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5/*.conf  //change to the right dir
 - ls  //find files that end in .conf.  Pick one.
 - cat $conffile | sed -e 's/RadioState|1/RadioState|0/' > $conffile
   //where it says $confile, change it to the name you picked before.

Hope this helps...
