[Bug 41722] Ndiswrapper no longer working after upgrade to Dapper

[inspired]

Public bug reported:

Affects: ndiswrapper (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
I updated to Dapper tonight and when I rebooted my wireless network card
was no longer working. I have an Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro laptop and I
used to have to press Fn+F12 when Ubuntu began booting to enable the
Broadcom wireless card and a led would light up. The led no longer
lights up, although ndiswrapper reports that the driver is installed and
the hardware is present. I also noticed that the interface name has
changed from wlan0 to eth1.

I am using ndiswrapper 1.11 from the ndiswrapper's sourceforge page and
it worked just fine before I upgraded to Dapper. I use the bcmwl5 driver
and my kernel version is 2.6.15-21-686 from the Dapper apt repository.

I see that others have experienced problems with wireless cards after
upgrading as well, but I can't find any conclusion.
