I was trying to get a Linksys WMP54G card going (another thread on the forum) but had also purchased a Belkin Wireless G Plus Desktop Card (F5D7001) as a backup plan. Thanks to Posmanet, this is now working for me. Seems that 'rmmod bcm43xxx' is the trick.
Before that I tried using the "firmware cutter" (bcm43xxx-fwcutter) to extract firmware modules. Limited but no ultimate success with that approach. Used .inf and .sys files found through the ndiswrapper wiki. Specifically...

Haven't tried to duplicate and automate this setup so we'll see if it sticks. Also would like to see if I can get the bitrate over 18Mb/s.
