This card should work with the native Linux drivers without
Ndiswrapper. I am using the PCI-e version of that chip, Dell 1490,
without issues  (however, 802.11a is unsupported).

I suggest you uninstall ndiswrapper in case it is causing
a conflict.

from the command line try:

$ sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter 
$ sudo rmmod b43
$ sudo modprobe b43
$ iwconfig

You should see the wlan device in the output. If not run the dmesg
command to see if there are any interesting errors.
