You might try using the native driver (bcm43xx) instead of ndiswrapper. I believe you will need to extract the firmware from the windows drivers. There's a debian package called bcm43xx-fwcutter which will do this and put the files in /lib/firmware. (Instructions at http://www.debiantutorials.org/content/view/153/213/ also mention that it might be good to copy *.fw files from /lib/firmware to /lib/hotplug/firmware the author doesn't sound too sure about that.)
