If you install the firmware, the open-source driver WILL work.
BCM4318’s have been supported for a long time. With an Internel
connection, open a console terminal and enter the command
sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware

I use KNetworkManager to control my WPA network. Right click on the
applet icon, select a “New Connection” and choose your wireless
device. From the popup, select the essid you want and put in the
necessary “secret”.
This process will work with the open-source driver. It may not with
ndiswrapper.
