My blacklist file is read-only, and modprobing bcm43xx gives a FATAL: Operation not Permitted error.

Do you do these actions as root? Try
sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx
and analogously add sudo when you edit blacklist.

Either become root or use the crippled Ubuntu method:

sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx

For editing the file,
sudo pico (or nano or vi or your editor of choice) /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist Or whatever the path is for you.

What raskin said.

Some explanation:
The bcm43xx module was creating eth1 but conflicting with ndiswrapper. Loading ndiswrapper, assuming you've correctly installed it, will generate a wlan0 interface.

OK.
lsmod | grep ndiswrapper gave:
Code:
ndiswrapper           194608  0 
usbcore               134280  10 ndiswrapper,ipaq,usbserial,lmpcm_usb,usb_storage,usbhid,libusual,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd
And modprobe ndiswrapper gives back a command line
And dmesg | tail -30 gave:

Note that the last line Says that link isn't ready.
Does this mean that setting up eth0 failed?

Did you successfully blacklist bcm43xx?

Any errors when modprobing ndiswrapper?

Is wlan0 showing up in iwconfig?

No errors happened when modprobing ndiswrapper, it just gives back the command line.
