I try several days before to get working this card (Dell TrueMobile 1300) on my Dell Inspiron 8600 with ndiswrapper but I didn't have a wifi access point. Now, I try with the office wifi's access point... and this work :)

some intersting informations:
pulp wireless # lspci | grep 802
02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94306 802.11g (rev 02)

used driver: http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R65194.EXE (as said on ndiswrapper page)

command-line:
insmod ./ndiswrapper.o
loadndisdriver 14e4 4320 bcmwl5.sys bcmwl5.inf
iwconfig wlan0 essid MY_SSID
ifconfig wlan0 ....

Hope it will be usefull for someone.

ps: wireless rulez :)

Does your machine lock up at all when using the card? Especially while making big transfers ( > 150 kb/sec )?
