If you google for
  Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN
then I think you will find some information that will help you to restart the 
project.
Anyway I  think you should use the ndiswrapper approach.

In 
http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?s=f29e36c3d9e174476d6162f7ab4fb734&showtopic=2757&pid=10243&st=0&#entry10243
I read:
  openSUSE 10.2 Option 2 - You can maximize your wireless hardware to 54 Mb/s
   in most cases using the ndiswrapper, however to use this option you will
   need   to remove the bcm46xx drivers and blacklist them from being reloaded
   again using the "bmc43xx Removal Procedure" then use the "ndiswrapper
    procedure".

So maybe the blacklist might help?

Good luck
Hugo
