The drivers on the Lenovo website were, to the best of my knowledge, the broadcom manufactured drivers. The document at [https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/gawb04ww.txt] explains the driver I was using under the Windows operating system. I am not aware of any way to make it function on Linux and, therefore, haven't had the oppurtunity to have it taint my kernel.
