I'm currently affected by this bug too. I have broadcom 4328 (airport) with
ndiswrapper and hal reports the card twice:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_1e_52_83_74_97_0'
  info.capabilities = {'net', 'net.80211'} (string list)
  info.category = 'net.80211'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_14e4_4328'  (string)
  info.product = 'WLAN Interface'  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'net'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_1e_52_83_74_97_0'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  linux.subsystem = 'net'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/net/wlan0'  (string)
  net.80211.mac_address = 130233365655  (0x1e52837497)  (uint64)
  net.address = '00:1e:52:83:74:97'  (string)
  net.arp_proto_hw_id = 1  (0x1)  (int)
  net.interface = 'wlan0'  (string)
  net.linux.ifindex = 7  (0x7)  (int)
  net.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_14e4_4328'  (string)
