Whoa. And how does one "load the wireless device driver?" Do you 
mean using ndiswrapper? 

If you mean using ndiswrapper, I saw a message yesterday which 
instructed the user to remove ndiswrapper. This is a big part of
my misunderstanding. Do we need ndiswrapper or not? 

Is the network manager simply an easy way to switch between wired
and wireless networks once you have your wireless driver installed
(e.g., via ndiswrapper)?

I don't know what you mean by "stop network init.d scripts."
