Hi Bob,

I personally have never had luck using ndiswrapper from repos/pre-compiled
packages, no experience on Fedora, but debians never did work. I believe
the problem here would be that the module and the kernel itself have been
compiled by different versions of a (compiler) gcc. I am not 100%, but
pretty sure.

The best way (I think) to solve this, would be to compile your own kernel,
then compile/install ndiswrapper from source. This seems to work best on
this end anyway. Best of luck.  DAN
