I haven't used it yet and I didn't understood your comment. Does it work?

Saturn, I think Cleven should mention if it completely fails to find and load compat-wireless when the user prompts to load them using the button in question. Now, it just makes it seem like it actually loaded them (button turns red) and the only thing hinting about something going wrong is the fact that the MAC address bar goes blank.
Sure I could put a couple more checks. I didn't think that it is really need though. When you install it you install the drivers at that location too. So they are available.. Anyway the lines of code to make this check is less than my comment

P.S. Saturn, could you implement a toggle to remove the "this kernel is perhaps incompatible with Cleven" yellow banner completely at the user's discretion?
I will add something. Others have asked that too before.

Thanks for your comments.
