These have not been updated in forever -- I recommend you go to 
ndiswrapper.sf.net, get the latest tarball (version 1.1 last I looked), 
and rebuild the RPM from that -- there's a specfile inside that works 
perfectly. 'rpmbuild -ta' doesn't work, as they accidentally left the 
version to something like '1.0rc1'. Extract it, change to 1.1, and then 
'rpmbuild -ba <specfile>' instead.

I just used this.... 2 days ago? to build ndiswrapper-1.1 RPMs on a FC3 
laptop to use that crappy Dell 1400 (Broadcom chipset) internal mini-pci 
card. Worked perfectly, nary a problem.
