Ndiswrapper is a lifesaver, but unfortunately the windows drivers
require more than 4 stacks in order to operate.  I think they recommend
that your kernel have about 16 stacks in order to sidestep problems.
Did you do that or are you using one of the default kernels?

Default kernels from the fedora repos are compiled with 4 stacks, I
believe.
