I installed a driver from source number 43 listed in http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,list_b/

I got this far:

$ ndiswrapper -l
bcmwl5a : driver installed
 device (14E4:4318) present (alternate driver: ssb)

Thereafter I ran these (chapter 3.5.):
$sudo depmod -a
$ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

Couldn't see any problem in "tail /var/log/messages", but there is no wlan0 in output of ifconfig and iwconfig.
There is not Wireless connection listed in Network Settings dialog, either.

The switch in front of my computer does not affect the led beside it now either.
