This is a known issue. NedSlider should have mentioned the upstream
bug he himself reported. :-P
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=767738
Now the bug has been fixed upstream and so the kmod-ndiswrapper needs
to be rebuilt. But this is a moot point here because
kmod-compat-wireless seems to be working for you.

Your vendor:device ID pair (1286:1fab) is indeed listed on the web
page above and the blog [1]. The whole conversation should have taken
place in the ELRepo mailing list as pointed out earlier, but other
CentOS users might benefit from the info, this thread should be useful
in this mailing list. :-)
