I personally don't own hardware that needs to run under ndiswrapper,
so *I* can't bring up such a helper script, sorry. :)
If you provide me the according command lines to get the bcm chips
working with ndiswrapper I could add it to grml-tips if you think
that would be a benefit for an easier copy/paste setup. ;)
