I have installed ndiswrapper with the corresponding driver
sudo ndiswrapper -l
installed drivers:
bcmwl5 driver installed, hardware (14E4:4324) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)

I also run with sucess:
sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware bcmwl5.sys

by the way nm-applet is stopped showing wireless nets.
