Did you do this:
2. Install your windows driver
------------------------------
Download the Windows XP drivers, unpack it and locate the .inf for your card.
Run ndiswrapper -i to install the driver
> ndiswrapper -i </path/to/inffile.inf>
This copies all necessary files to /etc/ndiswrapper and creates the config
files for your card.
After installing you can run
> ndiswrapper -l
to see the status of your installed drivers. If you have installed the correct
driver you should see something like this:
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5 present
Where "present" means that you have a PCI-device present that can be used with
the
driver bcmwl5.
