Getting ndiswrapper to work is a pig. I am running it right now. You need to
run make xconfig and then go to the kernal hacking area and uncheck the use
4k Stack option, This will give you 8k stacks which might work, If you need
16K stacks for your card you are out of luck with Fedora. And then make
bzImage, make modules , make modules_install , and make install etc. This is
all after you install kernel-devel as pointed out below. Good luck. You will
need it.

you need to install the kernel-devel rpm for compilling ndiswrapper.
If you use the ndiswrapper from livna.org, you need to use rpmbuild
-ba --target=i686 (or whatever the arch you are using).
Do not expect it to work with Fedora... most NDIS drivers use 8k or
16k stacks which the Fedora kernel does not use.
