wireless

Hello, this should be a relatively simple question.

I'm attempting to get my windows wireless card to work with ubuntu, booted from my portable hard drive.

This is the guide I'm attempting to follow is on help.ubuntu.com, /community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper

My wireless card is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 AirForce One 54g 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller.

My computer is an HP Pavilion Entertainment dv5 notebook, which came with Vista 64.

I would like confirmation about which of the drivers I should use. At this point, I'm leaning towards Broadcom BCM4318 HP Pavilion zv6000, but I thought it best to ask advice before taking action.

The drivers I have to chose from are listed on this page http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Category:Broadcom

Thanks!

Holly
