ndiswrapper does NOT require the complete kernel source! I just tested
it on my FC3 test install - not full install but the ''make all' run,
which completed successfully. It is fully sufficient to have the kernel
headers where they are with the FC3 kernel: under /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/build/. And exactly that is the requirement which is documented:
