I'm also having trouble with intrepid and ndiswrapper. My wifi is a BCM4328 (I'm running it on my appleTV) and for some reason ndiswrapper can't initialize the device...
and this is what I get in dmes when loading ndiswrapper:

this is ndiswrapper -l:
bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4328) present (alternate driver: ssb)
and I successfully blacklisted all modules tha cause problem to this driver:
blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist ssb
blacklist b44
blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
after blacklisting those, I ran /usr/sbin/update-initramfs to update my initrd.img file so none of the above would be loaded at boot time by the kernel...
