There are some possibly-related notes on this page in the wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/HP/Pavilion-ze5300_Series Short summary: neither bcm43xx nor ndiswrapper are a perfect solution, and you may need to blacklist the bcm43xx driver to use ndiswrapper. That wiki entry was originally written for CentOS 5.0. I'm currently running 5.3 with the supplied bcm43xx driver and it has some problems with duplicate/dropped packets so the performance is suboptimal, but it does work.
