modprobe ndiswrapper --> Invalid module format

I'm trying to install ndiswrappers in FC4. I followed the installation
manual in their site, but specifically here is what I did.

First I extracted kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i686.rpm.
Then I did "rpm -Uvh kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i686.rpm".
It said that it needs hardlink. I extracted hardlink (from cd 1 I
think). Then I did "rpm -Uvh hardlink-1.0-1.13.i386.rpm". This
installed, then the kernel installed. Yay!
Next I attemted to install gcc using same method as last two packages
but this didn't work too well (had too many dependencies), so I then
decided to "system-config-packages" the development-tools installed
fine. Thinking that I didn't have openssl-devel I tried to uncompress it
from a cd (#1 I think) and then tried to install it but told me that it
already is installed. 
Then I downloaded ndiswrappers-1.2 from their site.
Did:
then I linked 
ln
-s /usr/src/kernels/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-i686/ /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp/build 
(first time around I mistakenly linked it to 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/build,
but then I uninstalled it then did it again with the same results)

make clean
su -
<pass>
make
make install
ndiswrapper -i driver/ir/bcmwl5.inf
This is what it said:
Installing bcmwl5

Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2

Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2

Then I checked to see if the driver was installed. Yup.
[root@WarpPower ndiswrapper-1.2]# ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5  driver present, hardware present

But here is where it failed:

[root@WarpPower ndiswrapper-1.2]# modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper
(/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid module
format
[root@WarpPower ndiswrapper-1.2]#

Sorry for such a long message but I hope someone might be able to help
out. I googled this alot, but to no avail. Most people had this because
they had update kernel.

Thank for any suggestions,
