I am having probs, as well.  Gentoo, SuSE both worked (ndiswrapper) but 
kubuntu seems to not want to give me any throughput (both ndiswrapper & 
bcm43xx).  I actually started a thread yesterday morning about this.  My card 
is active but invalid access point --even when I am on top of the AP.  
Doesn't matter what network I try to access --airports, Starbucks, 
Barnes/Noble, whatever.  Set the ESSID to 'ANY'.

There is a sniffer tool and I cannot, for the life of me, remember what that 
tool is.  It's connected to the wireless tools pkg.  Haven't tried that, for 
obvious reasons.
