Unfortunately it looks like ndiswrapper is pretty dumb about 64bit.
Yeah, 64bit nsiwrwapper cannot use a 32bit ndis driver for the same reason
that 64bit mplayer cannot use win32codecs (though for the latter you can
run a 32bit mplayer in a chroot).

Do you have the urge to allocate >4GB of a memory to a process? If not,
most of the reason for using a 64bit OS are gone. In fact, running a
32bit OS on a 64bit amd64 processor is probably going to be slightly
faster than a 64bit OS for many things.
I know I could just compile a 32 version of Linux and run, but I would
rather just wait to see the 64 bit drivers show up.
For broadcom? I wouldn't hold your breath. Instead, I'd be more willing
to guess that the next thing will happen is a Windows "X64" driver will be
released by broadcom, which should work with a 64bit-compiled version of
ndiswrapper.
