I've used Broadcom 4318 on a Dell Latitude laptop (built-in NIC) with 
ndiswrapper and it works just fine. 
Your last email on saturday shows that ndiswrapper works with your Broadcome 
4318, ie. you can see the wlan0, all you needed to do was assign an ESSID 
using iwconfig so that you can see your access point. Jeff Vian replied to 
your message but you did not reply back. Did you try that ?

As I said above, I think you were very close to get it to work with 
ndiswrapper with the Broadcom NIC. Why did you decide to drop that ? Please 
give us details of your problem, and follow the suggestion mentioned, and 
probably best to try to pick one way to do it and stick with it rather than 
randomly tried other methods. I will try to help if you decide to use the 
broadcom card and ndiswrapper as I've done that before. I have no experience 
with using linuxant nor madwifi so I can't help you there.
