Broadcom BCM94311MCG wlan wireless range problems 'ndiswrapper'

Hello masters of ArchLinux smile
I have a little issue with my Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) wireless adapter using ndiswrapper ,configured step by step following the
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless#BCM43XX wiki page smile
At the beginning i was very confused ,becouse with my 3 year expirience with Linux I was unable to understood what is happening with my wireless ...
Under ArchLinux using ndiswrapper my wireless adapter has only 3 meters of range with any type of access point ,even with ad-hoc...I tried with D-link AP, Linksys & etc...
The first thing that was up to my head was the 'Transmit Power' on the adapter , 18 mw...But then I restart under WindowsXP also on the same notebook ...Dell inspiron 1501...the transmit power was also 18 mw ,but my wireless was working with very good range ,above 300 meters from the AP smile

Any suggestions about this issue ?

Try the kernel's b43 module.
