First - get rid of ndiswrapper. For a BCM4311, it is not needed and
will screw up everything!

It is likely you need to install the firmware. If you have a network
connection in Linux, then open a terminal and enter the following
commands:

sudo   /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware
sudo   /sbin/modprobe  -rv   b43
sudo   /sbin/modprobe  -v    b43

At this point, you should be able to use NetworkManager to create a
new connection.

If you do not have an Internet connection in Linux, please go to the
wireless subforum, look at the 3rd stickie, and find the place that
tells you exactly what to do.
