[Bug 1323753] [NEW] ndiswrapper-dkms 1.57-1ubuntu1: ndiswrapper kernel module failed to build

[Günter Müller]

Public bug reported:

Am a real beginner in Linux. Used the commands:

sudo apt-get sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-dkms

Upon these commands and using page "How to fix "ndiswrapper not found""
unimpossible to find:
directory "modules" where ndiswrapper should be present
unimpossible to install "instwcli.inf" as windows driver. Get the error message "'Error in driver file" (or so, translated it from German). 

Re-installed ndiswrapper using:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms ndisgtk ndiswrapper-dkms
No success. Need for help at a very beginner's level
Thanks
