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...
