One other thing I forgot to mention,
If the problem is that ndiswrapper is not detecting your card, the
dapper kernel includes support for the opensource bcm43xx driver (which
will make ndiswrapper un-needed for this card, when it's working.)  I
couldn't get it to work yet, but the module is loaded by default. So
before you go editing all the configs, try:

# rmmod ndiswrapper
# rmmod bcm43xx
# modprobe ndiswrapper

And try again from there...
