No, ndiswrapper is not the only choice.

bcm43xx driver is not really stand-alone. It needs firmware to work,
which it reports cannot find. Grab "bcm43xx-fwcutter" package to get
firmware.

Also read documentation of "bcm43xx-fwcutter". Some cards work only with
specific (that usually means older) firmware, and you may need to
install it manually with the tools it provides.
