Suggesting deleting cfg80211.ko is really dangerous #249

After running “sudo rm -f /lib/modules/*/updates/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko” I cannot longer use any external wifi adapter. Is this really something we should be doing?

I am sorry, I wasn't aware of such a danger. I only have one WIFI adapter at all. I will rephrase that section.

I improved the section in the latest commit and linked to this issue. I leave it open for some time so others feel encouraged to report their experiences (other approaches, fixes, etc.) here.
