ndiswrapper is a generic driver, and requires that you have the actual
Windows driver for that card off the driver CD you got with the card.
That Broadcom driver wouldn't be packaged with ndiswrapper itself.  In
any case, there are likely ndiswrapper modules out there, but since
ndiswrapper is not in the Linux kernel and likely will never be, you'll
be constantly rebuilding or updating ndiswrapper yourself as Rawhide/FC5
keeps moving.  People with Broadcom wireless cards are pretty much stuck
between a rock and a hard place.
