[Bug 42067] not working on Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)

[Tom Haddon]

Public bug reported:

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


Description:
I have tried both ndiswrapper and bcm43xx on Dapper Drake and neither
has worked for me. I am filing this as an ndiswrapper problem, but will
also describe my problems with bcm43xx if that helps.

I had ndiswrapper working fine on Breezy, but as soon as I upgraded to
Dapper, it wouldn't work. After sudo modprobe ndiswrapper I have some
sample output to help here.
