ndiswrapper hangs on boot

I just bought a new laptop.  It is a Compaq Presario V2630US.  It also has
a label on it that says Presario V2000.  I guess the whole line of V2XXX
are similar.  This one has an AMD Turion processor in it and I'm running
Ubuntu Dapper for the 64 bit OS.  The problem I'm having is with the
wireless card.  It is a Broadcom BCM4318.  When I checked it out at the
shop by booting up the live CD I was mislead by the fact that the card was
correctly identified by the OS into thinking that it would work without
problems.  

I did get it to work.  What I did was add the incorrect Broadcom driver to
the blacklist and installed the ndiswrapper driver for XP64.  I rebooted
the system and everything was great.  I could connect to my wireless
network and everything worked flawlessly.  I think the problem might be
due to the latest round of updates I installed.  

When I rebooted it, it locked when the ndiswrapper.ko module was loaded. 
I found through experimentation that if I push the little wireless button
I can get it to finish loading.  Then if I push the button again it locks
up.  I can't seem to get it to cooperate at all.  

Now I know the driver works because it worked perfectly before.  I'm just
confused about how to get it to work now, or what could possibly have
gone wrong with it.  

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  

Thank you.  

On a side note, the dapper install went great with the exception of this
little glitch.  I painlessly moved everything from my old laptop.  With
the exception of this problem it was probably the easiest upgrade I've
ever done.  I do wish I could have installed reiserfs in the default
install, but that is a small complaint.
