My SMC2835W works like a charm without ndiswrapper, follow these steps:
1. install Debian (but Ubuntu may work as well)
2. install hotplug and a recent kernel (with CONFIG_PRISM54 = Y or M)
3. download the isl3890 firmware from http://prism54.org/fullmac.html
(or extract it from the driver cd that came with the card) and save it
as '/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890' (no file extension)
4. modprobe prism54 (may not be needed)
5. insert card
good luck!
