You know, people read this list TO HELP PEOPLE. That's right. I'm up at 2307 my time hoping that I can provide some information that will help you get your bcm43xx device functional, or that failing that I can help you provide information so the folks that work between the firmware, the reverse-engineered speficiations, and the driver can make it work.

NOTHING would please me more than to see your device work.
I feel I would not be happy if it were not to work.
And yet, unfortunately, in this imperfect world I must work with some imperfections... like....

Zero diagnostic information.

Ndiswrapper typically works in about 5 seconds, so not only no diagnostic information, but your "BS programmer" is 4 hours 59 minutes and 55 seconds full of "BS".

You don't mention your kernel version.

You don't include a uname -a  or a dmesg | grep bcm43

Now let's talk English
"chip talking" -- meaningless
"a kernel build" -- meaningless
"wireless was showing" -- meaningless
"wifi switch light" -- meaningless
"not making up to" -- meaningless
"actually use the signal" -- meaningless
"it suddenly stops" -- almost meaningless. SOmething that might have been previously defined (but wasn't) no longer words.
"it's on again" -- same comment as above
"Any clues" -- no, you don't have any

SO... I'd say "good luck" but it looks like you don't have any of that either.

It took a BS programmer over five hours, but he got my bcm4318 chip talking to my computer with the NDISWrapper and a kernel build. Before that the wireless was showing on the laptop's wifi switch light but not making up to the computer to actually use the signal. Now, after six days, it suddenly stops. Give it a few days, and it's on again. Any clues?
