same issue on hardy 32bit, 
I have 12 Mbit and the connection is unreliable but with ndiswrapper I have 
54Mbit and detection fiable. 

If I use b43 and b43-fwcutter, and on other ssid ( farest ),
NetworkManager shows a good signal, but in reality with ndiswrapper this
must be a lower signal : see sreenshot :

With b43, sbb, b43-fwcutter:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"xxxxxx"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.432 GHz  Access Point: 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx   
          Bit Rate=1 Mb/s   Tx-Power=27 dBm   
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B   
          Link Quality=86/100  Signal level=-46 dBm  Noise level=-69 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

With ndiswrapper :
wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"xxxxxx"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.432 GHz  Access Point: 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power:32 dBm   
          RTS thr:2347 B   Fragment thr:2346 B   
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:70/100  Signal level:-51 dBm  Noise level:-96 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0


On sreenshot Network Manager : 
left :  with b43, ssb

I hit 27 dbm with 
sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 399mW

right : with ndiswrapper 
I hit 27 dbm with 
sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 410mW
