What does lspci say? Maybe you don't need ndiswrappers.

Yes, it looks like you downloaded the packages for an i586 kernel,
which in reality you run an i686 one. Just download the same kmdl
package ending with i686.rpm (not i586.rpm), or simply use yum
pointing to ATrpms and do yum install ndiswrappers.
