The bcm43xx cards are troublesome or rather were because they work out of the box mostly now
You have not told us which version and edition of Mint you have - please always include that
I'll assume the main and Elyssa or newer
I can see that the Win driver is loaded - unload it as it does not work
Remove it from ndiswrapper, better do that first
The driver to use is b43 or b43legacy, probably the latter - I think they are included by default, but not sure
Restart networking - I prefer to do that with Network Manager
Hopefully you have it going - else try to use b43
This means first a modprobe -r b43legacy followed by a modprobe for b43 and a restart of networking
If it works we have to get it working after a reboot
(or echo "b43" if that's the one)
If it does not work after a reboot do
and
If either appears it has to be blacklisted
and add the module
To avoid a reboot do sudo modprobe -r that_module and restart networking
