Ndiswrapper works fine, ignore the 4k stacks warning.
Your firmware seems fine. Here's my 4311 (Dell 1390): bcm43xx_mac80211: Loading firmware version 371.1061 (2006-10-04 21:02:04)
The fact that you see APs in the scan means it works.You didn't include the iwlist, so we can't tell if it's a weak reception under bcm43xx_mac80211 (but I suspect it is) that's causing the dissassociation.
As for the "Mode" and the "Rate" remove the extraneous parameters from your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth1.cfg

Hello and greetings to the list members. I have been using opensuse 10.2 with the ndiswrapper on a 2.6.18 kernel and this worked. I just recently converted this laptop to fedora 7 with a 2.6.21 kernel. I have found that ndiswrapper will not drive the card because of the 4k stacks. I have been trying to figure out the bcm43xx_mac80211 and I keep coming up short. Here is what I have tried and some of the responses; I have read that I need the ver 4 firmware so I downloaded it from here, http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o. and when I modprobe the driver I find this line in the dmesg output bcm43xx_mac80211: Loading firmware version 351.126 (2006-07-29 05:54:02) Does this look like the correct firmware version? I am not sure! Here is the interesting part, if I bring up wlan0 and do a iwlist scanning I see my cell along with about 6 others in the neighborhood, but I keep getting these messages in the dmesg output: bcm43xx_mac80211: Adding Interface type 2 bcm43xx_mac80211: Loading firmware version 351.126 (2006-07-29 05:54:02) ssb: Switching to ChipCommon core, index 0 ssb: Switching to IEEE 802.11 core, index 1 bcm43xx_mac80211: Radio turned on bcm43xx_mac80211: Radio enabled by hardware bcm43xx_mac80211: !WARNING!

Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.

Just not quite there yet. Oh, I tried the router with encryption off and the system wide open, as well as my usual wep encryption. Still no joy. The system is an HP Pavillion DV9208NR and the pcie card is listed a dell wlan 1390. Any thoughts, suggestions, or hints would be greatly appreciated. If I can supply any further information I will be glad to. I am also will to help with the debugging and correction of any potential problems. It would not be the first time I have torn down and put back together a system.
