I make ndiswrapper works with a broadcom wirelles board with a following procedure on a clean install of hardy

First, install the packages ndis and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

Second, install driver from broadcom using

sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
sudo ndiswrapper -l

you should see a message that says driver present, hardware detected

THE RELEVANT PART: Install aliases on /etc/modprobe.d

sudo ndiswrapper -ma

AGAIN, It's "-ma", NOT "-m". Finally add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules
