I updated the package to the new upstream version 1.21 (old one was 1.18), as usual it's available in the grml-repos. Can you please try that?
wget http://grml.org/repos/ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.17-grml_1.21-1+grml.06_i386.d eb dpkg -i ndiswrapper-modules*.deb
please tell me if I am being a pain in the ass, as I am trying to help, even though I am a non-coder, and do not have money to give you.
No, you are definitely *not* "being a pain in the ass"! I do appreciate any feedback!
Thanks to Achim Ledermüller for verifying the ndiswrapper module. The old version as well as the new version work for him.
here is lsmod from the new live cd:
Module Size Used by ndiswrapper 145232 0

Why do these broadcom modules load? (I know they are part of the kernel now, but is there a possibility of conflict?)
Seems like your hardware is being supported by the bcm43xx driver. Are you sure that you have to use ndiswrapper to use the card? :) Can you please provide output of 'hwinfo --netcard'?
Is there an easy way for a novice to check for irq conflicts?
The starting point is /proc/interrupts and dmesg.
