ndiswrapper and bcm4311 in feisty

Thanks for your bug report, I believe this may be a duplicate of Bug #98856

Did you try to blacklist bcm43xx before trying to set-up ndiswrapper? If not, ndiswrapper will fail. In general I would recommend at least trying bcm43xx again, ndiswrapper caused a lot of troubles (at least for me).

Since kernel 2.6.20 the bcm43xx module is much more stable than it was in earlier releases. OK, at the moment still not a lot more than 11Mbit/s, but at least you'll get a stable connection.

can't get connected with bcm43xx
with bcm43xx iwconfig shows:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:off/any Nickname:"Broadcom 4311"
          Mode:Managed Frequency=2.484 GHz Access Point: Invalid
          Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=18 dBm
          RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

          Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0

and with ndiswrapper:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power:32 dBm

indicator on my router blinks for a while and then stops.

and it worked perfectly first when i installed kubuntu herd 5. Later something changed

Do you have the bcm43xx-fwcutter package installed when trying to use the bcm43xx module? Additionally I noticed the following in your dmesg log:

[ 57.063159] ndiswrapper (load_sys_files:216): couldn't prepare driver 'bcmwl5'
[ 57.063575] ndiswrapper (load_wrap_driver:118): couldn't load driver bcmwl5; check system log for messages from 'loadndisdriver'

It seems something was misconfigured when you were trying to use ndiswrapper.

I had some problems with 64 and 32 bit, while i was trying to find solution. I tried both 64 and 32 bit versions of kubuntu and got 64-bit driver in 32-bit kubuntu. I noticed it myself and fixed.
But problem remains...
With both ndiswrapper and with bcm43xx AND bcm43xx-fwcutter everything seems to work, but i can't get connection.
And 4311 with bcm43xx is declared unstable and not supported by developers.

Could you the log files again now that your system has the right driver?
