w-lan... once more

[Gabriel Dragffy]

I got the same to work using ndiswrapper (latest compiled from source).
The secret to success was to prevent the bcm43xx module from loading.
Do in a terminal:
	sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx acx ndiswrapper

And then edit:
	gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

and in the file add the line "blacklist bcm43xx" to the end (without
quotes), save and close.

Then try loading your ndis stuff up again. If it still doesn't work then
let us know, and we'll start removing all traces of the repos ndis and
compile our own.
