Well, I'm getting closer.

I uninstalled the ndiswrapper that comes with Mandriva 2006, installed
the kernel sources, then installed ndiswrapper v1.6 which I downloaded
from ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net.

With that done, I did an ndiswrapper -l bcmwl5a.inf, ndiswrapper -m,
and restarted -- no love.

I ran modprobe ndiswrapper and that brought some change -- the light
on the wireless button came on.  I ran ifconfig and wlan0 looks pretty
good -- it pulled an IP and all.  

Problem is, it isn't routing.

I tried pinging the gateway and all I get back is:

>From 192.168.1.10 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable

I went in and set the IP for the interface manually -- same result.
