[Bug 276980] Re: ndiswrapper bcm4306 rev 2 won't connect regression

I am  able to run Intrepid with kernel 2.6.27-9-generic and ndiswrapper
1.53 with a BCM 4306 (rev 02) in an old compaq presario.  I can connect
well with excellent data rates but only with WEP security.

Can't connect with WPA or WPA2.  I can enable WPA or WPA2 separately on the access point, but the problem appears to be related to the NetworkManager in Intrepid.  When I try to add a connection, the wireless security selection says "WPA & WPA2 Personal."  No joy trying to figure out whether / how to use WPA or WPA2 in the NetworkManager.  I get the green light on bottom but no green from the top, so it times out.  
I must be missing something simple as the system log message says WPA is supported.  

P.S. B43Legacy in the Intrepid restricted drivers manager worked but was
painfully slow, and couldn't get the rate up consistently.  No longer
enabled.
