Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary), ndiswrapper 1.0rc2, dell drivers from file R81433.EXE. I used the bcmwl5, not bcmwl5a drivers in the AR directory, not sure of the difference. No luck until I edited *every* .conf file in /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5/, replacing RadioState|1 with RadioState|0. Now it appears to be working perfectly on an open network.
