I have a bcm4318 built into my hp laptop and ssb did not work until I installed the firmware with /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware.
Now it works with a reboot. To make sure it is always loaded, I put this in /etc/init.d/boot.local:
ifdown-dhcp eth1 (I have never found out why it is not wlan0) iwconfig eth1 essid XXXXXXXX key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ifup-dhcp eth1 -o debug,auto
If you continue to use ndiswrapper, you can use "modprobe ndiswrapper" in the line above "ifdown".

I just tried that and still no wireless, looking at the "BCM4311wireless broken in 11.0" thread, the guy has the same card as me, maybe I can use the b43 driver and cut out my firmware. I'm giving that a try now.
The correct b43 or b43legacy are loaded when you modprobe ssb.

I got it working with b43 driver some how, out of a fit of frustration/tiredness... I hate it when this happens. -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure." Karl Popper
