This is not good enough. You see, Ubuntu not only does not provide
support for my Dell 1390 card (mistakenly I called it 1370 above), but
it spits this out in the terminal all the time
hostname kernel: [17179624.668000] bcm43xx: Error: Microcode
"bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed.
I had to *blacklist* the bcm43xx module in order to install ndiswrapper
and have it work. It's one thing to not support a card and another to
create problems thinking that it does support the card. I think you must
modify the module's code to not load if a 1390 card is there -- at least
not before the project has a working driver for it.
