Comment:
I was unable to connect to an ap at home using the bcm43xx module, so I 
tried to use ndiswrapper instead.  Despite messages logged to 
/var/log/messages suggesting that ndiswrapper is using the wlan0 
interface name, the eth0 interface (the one the bcm module was using) is 
the one that keeps receiving wireless extensions. 

Ndiswrapper works even less than the bcm module does, though -- it 
doesn't show any access points, and 'rmmod ndiswrapper' hard freezes the 
system every time.
