Broadcomm wireless not working in Compaq nx9010

I am not able to connect my notebook using its wireless feature - BCM4306/BCM22050000.
I am runing Windows XP.
Starting the Broadcom Wireless Configuration Utility and running its Diagnostics I got the following result:
Control Register Passed
SPROM Format Validation Passed
Memory Test Passed
Interrupt Test Failed
Loopback Test Failed
LED Test Passed
The reccommendation for the "Interrupt Test" provided by the Broadcomm Utility is the following: "This test verifies that the NDIS driver is able send packets and receive packets from the network controller."
The reccommendation for the "Loopback Test" is: "This test verifies that the NDIS driver is able send packets and receive packets from the network controller."

As both reccommendation mention the NDIS Driver I tend to believe that the problem maybe with this driver. However, I am able to connect wirelessly using aa USB wireless adapter as well as a physical ethernet cable connection.

Can anyone provide me some tips on this problem? Is there any tool to test the Broadcom hardware and verify whether or not it is defective?

I solved the problem by removin NDISWRAPPER and all folders and files related to it and reinstalling from scratch.
