You should use iwconfig to setup the wlan and not ifconfig

Take a look if you can't see any advice at

I'm using a HP Pavilion notebook and no problem at all with the BCM card with
the ndiswrapper.

It might have been iwconfig that showed no net ip, I can not recall

this one working with ndiswrapper. I will keep trying a bit more.
