Post from fedora-list redhat com saying not to use ndiswrapper -harmful. Recommends how to make bcm43xx work.
Decided to check this out.............

Too bad it is not a solution for a 64-bit Operating System (the subject of this thread BTW), the firmware is only for a 32-bit Intel type Operating System. This mean 64-bit (x86-64) and ppc systems are SOL!

"Firmware used on the card has nothing to do with the host arch,
so it should work just as well on x86_64."
