Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Dell Inspiron E1505/6400 (Broadcom 1390 WLAN) Followed this guide (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092).
Things to admit:
I had installed b43-fwcutter (but by now I have removed the package and blacklisted 'bcm43xx' and 'b43' and 'b43-pci-bridge' I am using the ndiswrapper-1.9 package, did not install from the source (because 'make' gave me errors)

Why is it using b43-pci-bridge when I want it to use ndiswrapper?
Or is that a non-issue?
ifup wlan0 gives me:
sudo ifup wlan0
Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0.
Tell me if you need any additional info.
Thanks!
