Are you sure you have the latest firmware for your Broadcom card?  I
don't think it can be distributed with Ubuntu. I couldn't get my wirless
(bcm94311) card to work with ndiswrapper under Ubuntu 7.10 until I
upgraded the broadcom firmware.  Once I did that it worked fine.  When I
upgraded to 8.04, I had a different problem (had to compile the wl.ko
module from the Broadcom driver distribution and include it in the
kernel -- see links in CrypticMaulR's and my earlier post).

My understanding is that for a number (a lot?) of the Broadcom cards,
that if the latest firmware is installed they should work with the STA
driver.  If you link to the
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 there are instructions for
updating the firmware.

I reviewed your posts to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/289360 as well, and
from what I saw there I'm sure you're more proficient at this stuff than
I am, so I'm sorry if I'm only pointing out something obvious that
you've already dealt with.

Good luck.
