Title:
  ssb interferes with ndiswrapper (bcm4311, bcm4318)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This is a continuation of	bug#197558 ssb module breaks BCM4328 with ndiswrapper (regression from 2.6.24-10) 
  which refers to a very specific issue, but became a dumping ground for a larger issue.  Specifically, it appears that ssb prevents ndiswrapper from getting control of the wireless card. Since for several people the default b43 driver does not work, or does not work well, it is desirable to use ndiswrapper instead.

  There is a workaround, which is to have a startup script modprobe -r
  b43,b44,ssb,ndiswrapper and then modprobe ndiswrapper,b43,b44, but
  this isn't a very elegant solution.
