Thank you for your bug report.

Eugenia:

My understanding is that the bcm43xx native Linux driver does not work with every card that contains that chipset (mainly because it has had to be reverse engineered which is hard work). There is a small list of cards it does work with here:
http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices . If you can aid the upstream effort to support your card I suspect Ubuntu would pick the fixed version of the driver in a later release.

I'm not sure it is wise to try and default cards to use ndiswrapper though as I hear this is not really a solution for people running the 64bit version of Ubuntu...
