there is no way to assign an ESSID to this
i tried 
iwconfig wlan0 essid mbnet
iwconfig wlan0 essid "mbnet"
i tried by the graphical tool
i inserted manually in the configuration
file /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5/14E4:4318:1468:0312.5.conf
i inserted manually in the configuration file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0
nothing helps
no manner to get ESSID assigned
