If the OPs machine also has the chipset on the express bus it could
be the same problem.
I've been down the fwcutter route and it refused to work. Ndiswrapper
worked right away.
Personally, I see little philosophical difference in hacking out firmware from
a windows driver to plug into an open source driver AS OPPOSED TO using
ndiswrapper.
The latter almost always works, and the former is usually a crap shoot.
I've had the exact opposite experience with some Broadcom wifi cards and
a Hauppage USB set-top box (the DEC 2000-T). I guess it depends on how
well the firmware APIs are documented and implemented vs the NDIS APIs,
and how complex they are. I'd also think it's possible to work around
firmware bugs in a kernel driver in a way not really practical with a
generic NDIS warper.
