The fact that dmesg had nothing to say means you are not using the
bcm4xx driver.
you are not using a kernel from kernel.org or wireless-dev you need to
get one of them,
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7
that - with a number after it is a dead give away.  You want uname -r
to give 2.6.22-rc7
try this:
su -
yum install bcm43xx-fwcutter
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.9.2.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf broadcom-wl-4.80.9.2.tar.bz2
bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ broadcom-wl-4.80.9.2/kmod/wl_apsta.o
when you set up ndiswrapper you may have blacklisted bcm43xx
if so you need to remove it (edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist)

cd /usr/src
yum install git
git-clone 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-dev.git
cd wireless-dev
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config
make mrproper
make menuconfig
select load alternative config file, it should sugest .config select yes
then navigate to:
device-drivers-->Network-device-support-->Wireless-LAN-->press space
when broadcom BCM43xx is selected (an M should appear next to it, if
not hit space a few more times) do the same for broadcom BCM43xx
mac80211 stack.  you may want to enable some debugging in the same
location.
press esc a few times, it will say do you want to save, select yes
then on the command line again (this part will take a while):
make all
make modules_install
make install
now reboot
select the new kernel at boot when grub comes up
command line again:
su -
modprobe bcm43xx

That should get u up and running, or at least to a state in which we
can help. I don't know what other damage ndiswrapper may have done
that you need to remove maybe someone else can way in on that.  If it
works, you can change /boot/grub/menu.lst so that the new kernel is
default.
