Ok
With you need to be careful that there is not a conflict between ndiswrapper
and the new bcm43xx driver built in to the kernel.
Although this doc does not refer to usb it may help solve some of your
problems.  You should try this before the interfaces file is tweaked.

I did manage to get the system to recognize the hardware, even in breezy,
but I never had the wireless working in Breezy, the networking tool didn't
even a wireless interface to set.   Plus I have no idea which it's using,
although I definatly have loaded and tried to run the ndiswrapper in
breezy.   I'm hesistant to just get rid of ndiswrapper, how do i know I have
the bcm43xx?
