comment Is file permission secured when it transferred from Ubuntu to Windows?
I presume that you are using SAMBA to share the file with windows users, so the permissions applied to the file on the Linux side are translated into windows permissions by samba. Think you need to look at the shareing directive that you are useing in samba, and what file permissions these users have through samba, look at /etc/samba/smb.conf here you can either set the share to read only = yes or set create mask = 0600 this means that the permissions that external users have are filtered through the mask, in this case read and execute user permissions only.

comment Overriding a executable to add a default flag
Doing this to mplayer also fixes gmplayer or any of the other front ends to mplayer. Things like gmplayer call mplayer in the background, and just display the video in a frame provided by the skin application.

comment Wireless will not connect with an AzureWave chipset
You should use WPA2-PSK WEP is all broken and not worth bothering with. From the traces posted you seem to be having an authentication issue, please double check the password, in the last trace it is still calling wpa_supplicant so some form of security is still enabled.
