I also almost had an endless battle :-) I realised the "ssb" module was not getting unloaded even after blacklisting. Only the b43 would go. Plus, the ethernet eth0 interface would prevent wlan0 from working if it was up So in my rc.local (after setting up ndiswrapper) I added the following lines: rmmod ssb rmmod ndiswrapper modprobe ndiswrapper ifdown eth0 ifdown wlan0 ifup wlan0 There is probably a better way to get it working (Im almost a noob) but now wireless works for me :-) Of course I followed the ndiswrapper steps to get wlan0 up the first time then provided settings like wlan ID and WPA2 password etc in NetworkManager (System->Administration->Network)...
