After a long struggle I was able to successfully install the ndiswrapper and the windows driver. The driver is reported now as installed:
sudo ndiswrapper -l
bcmwlhigh6 : driver installed
device (0846:9011) present
The device id matches the one from lsusb output:
lsusb|grep Net
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0846:9011 NetGear, Inc. WNDA3100v2 802.11abgn [Broadcom BCM4323]
But still can't connect to wireless.
iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
I noticed that:
modprobe ndiswrapper
Returns nothing.
Then I did:
dmesg|grep ndis
And voila. What do those messages mean? Both my drivers and my ubuntu are x64.

I doubt that bcmwlhigh6 is correct for your device. I suggest you try the files from post #6 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2052594
