Boycott broadcom is the easiest way... these cards require more R&D to
reverse engineer than creating drivers for 10 different chipsets of ones
that actually have specifications that the wireless driver team can use.
 I've heard the 3rd world country argument enough already, it's your fault
you a.) went with a vendor who bundles a chipset that barely works with
Windows and b.) waste time which is money by fiddling around with a driver
which will never be suitable for "real world" use when one can not spend the
energy and get one of the many supported cards

Just dump it, even if it means selling your brain on ebay.  Pretty please ;)

But on a serious note, support is quite limited, no real support is
available anyway since fixing bugs on these is next to impossible, let alone
doing so for ndis which isn't even native in the traditional sense.
