   Get ndiswrapper and its common from Synaptic (it works) and then do   
   everything root; after "blacklist bcm43xx" simply navigate to the   
   drivers' location (both bcmwl5.inf AND bcmwl5.sys) and, then:   
        sudo ndiswrapper -e bcm43xx   
        sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf   
        sudo ndiswrapper -l to verify "driver and hardware present"   
        sudo ndiswrapper -m   
        also add "ndiswrapper"  with sudo gedit /etc/modules   
        set up in System and turn off wired->set to connect on boot->   
        don't use WPA, and KEY in HEX if WEP->activate wifi   
   Happy surfing.
