Ok, here are the observations with b43 driver
b43 loads and sees access points. But the number of access points seen
with b43 are much less than ndiswrapper.
ex: with ndiswrapper, i can see 10 APs but with b43 I can see only my
own, just one.
However, no IP can be obtained on wlan0. I did not go through the steps
I mentioned above to get an IP.
When I unload b43 and do the above steps, I see all APs and can get IP
by following above procedure.
Hence I guess the problem is not with the wlan driver but the DHCP.
Let me know if you need any more info.
Thanks,
Kalyan
