There is a native driver bcm43xx kernel module which conflicts with ndisdwrapper driver.
====
If you use ndiswrapper, you need to blacklist the native driver
blacklist the native driver by adding
#broadcom native driver
blacklist bcm43xx
to the bottom of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
-- edit this file as root
====
(native driver works quite well with kanotix kernel -- if you want to use it, make sure you have bcm43xx-fwcutter installed, and run bcm43xx-fwcutter against your Windows .sys file (Broadcvom firmware) -- then you'll need to remove your driver from ndiswrapper, or blacklist ndiswrapper)
(You can search for more info on Broadcom drivers if you need it or are interested)

Got it fixed using ndiswrapper although it probably could work with other driver. Googled around
and found a site that said for WEP 64 bit is default, so I changed to 64 bit and shared key.
