Working PCI wireless cards on Ubuntu 6.06.1 i386 (kernel: 2.6.15-23-386) by vn_popov (3):
Works with NDIS driver (ndiswrapper) Needs to blacklist bcm43XX module

With NDISWrapper module - OK With BCM43xx module - not functionnal (some communications will not work very good .... 20% ping ...) - but mode monitor is OK

Needs ndiswrapper to work. After setting that up it works fine. BCM43xx does not support this card properly (BCM4318). b43 from wireless-2.6 dev branch supports this card, but doesn't get the best of speeds.

Connection "freezes" working for a couple of seconds sometimes when downloading large files. A proprietary firmware has to be downloaded.

Here is the only way I found to make this device work: http://f7.kamisamanou.net/BCM4318F10.pdf It has been configured on Fedora10 using above instructions, survived several kernel updates and F10-->F11 upgrade install - never had to change anything.
