    Has that been fixed in the online starting guide?

Ok. I installed kernel sources and created a symbolic link as mentioned in ndiswrapper. But now I have another problem. I am using an Airlink card with TI chip set and installation instruction says "Make sure your kernel does not have 'use 4k stacks' enabled" How do I check this? And if it is enabled, can someone tell me how to disable it??

By default, FC4 kernels are built with 4K stacks.  That being said, some
Windows drivers under ndiswrapper will work fine with 4K stacks (the
Broadcom driver, for example).  Others will not.  With an 8K stack,
virtually all drivers will work, so to maximize success you should use
an 8K stack.

The best bet is to try it first.  Build and install ndiswrapper and try
it.  If it doesn't work or works strangely, then you must rebuild the
kernel with 8K stacks.  Instructions are in the archives of this list or
in the online starting guide on how to do that.
