Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not really.

Describe the solution you'd like a) A little user-friendlier message that itlmw.kext is not running. b) Improvement to BDS Clause 3 by including a URL reference.

Describe alternatives you've considered Can't think of any alternatives except ignore them.

Additional context a) Please expand the text when the driver is not running to something more friendlier, for example: "The necessary WLAN driver is not found active on your system. Please verify that itlmw.kext is correctly installed and running."

b) Please fix, for the sake of being covered by BSD License, the About window RTF file with a URL reference, too (either a single mention or copy-paste the actual license):
