I think you recommended that to me during my issues.  It is indeed
what I used, but it is not the first choice so you may not want to
recommend it quite so fast.

If you look at the wiki article I just posted(1), you see:

a) Use the pure native driver that is in the distro if your chipset is
supported.

b) Use the STA driver from Broadcomm if native fails to work (ie. the
one-click you point at)

c) ndiswrapper
