   FWIW   
   I had a broadcomm chipset wireless card that was working under 5.10. When   
   I upgraded to 6.06 I was unable to get the native driver or ndiswrapper to   
   work with it. I tried everyone's incantations to no avail. I finally   
   bought a Dlink WNA2330 (Atheros chipset) and it worked 'out of the box'.
