   Hi,   
   I have a DELL 510m also equiped with a Broadcom chipset on the motherboard   
   for wifi connections. Ndiswrapper is also working fine for me. I   
   nevertheless lost some time in making it working due to the ... firewall   
   (firestarter) which blocked out/ingoing connections...   
      
   Hope this helps,
