Just thought I'd chime in here, to give a rundown of what I did to get the 1350 card to work.
First my setup:
DSL setup on a Dell Inspiron 1000. Dell partition is still hda1 extended partition for hda2
hda3 and hda4 are in the extended partition hda3 is setup ext2fs, and this is where I have a frugul grub install done. hda4 is raiserFS, and where I backup my stuff to.
First off, I set my backup to go to hda4
I copied the bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys to /mnt/hda4
Run ndiswrapper, and set the path to /mnt/hda4/bmcwl5.inf Device is wlan0 and ssid is whatever your network name is [in your router, not your windows workgroup name ;)]
Key - I had to change my router from wpa-psk to 128bit WEP, and once you do that, input the hexadecimal key that your router gives you, and remember to enter it with a colon between each set. i.e. 71:5b:cf...
Now, go into /opt/bootlocal.sh and add this:
mount /dev/hda4
This will mount the hard drive where your wireless drivers are before it tries to load the wireless.
Save, backup, and reboot, and you should be good.
I hope this helps out, it took me quite a while to dig this all up and get it working, so I thought this might help some of you guys.
Also, be sure to change the hard drive locations where applicable for your individual setup
