I just saw your post from a few days ago. I got the bcm4306 working with 
Kubuntu. I hope I can help.

I saw from other posts that you have ndiswrapper installed. That was 
step one for me. I had to remove bcm43xx; modprobe bcm43xx, eventually I 
also had to blacklist it to keep it from being reinstalled. I copied the 
window drivers to Kubuntu (bcmwl5.sys and BCMWL5.inf).
ndiswrapper -l will show which drivers are installed. To install the 
windows driver I did
sudo ndiswrapper -i path_to/BCMWL5.inf. I repeated it with the -l option 
to be sure it was actually installed.
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart  got the card up and running.

If you still have problems could you post the results of the following:
iwconfig
ndiswrapper -l
lsmod | grep bcm*
lsmod |grep ndis*

Good luck. I had to try many permutations of the above to finally get it 
working.
