No, the link was _from_ that page (the second link in section 5:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102), but I don't see a darn
thing about Network Manager in there.

That's not what the "-m" option does.  It adds an alias
under /etc/modprobe.d/ - which I _think_ should actually do the same thing
as adding ndiswrapper to /etc/modules, but didn't seem to do that for me.

fwiw, after initially installing ndiswrapper, then discovering I didn't need
it because there are other drivers for my card (acx) and with just
ndiswrapper I got errors), now I've gone back to using ndiswrapper.  With
the acx module I got all sorts of transmit/receive errors. Downloading the
firmware for use with the acx module seems to have resolved the errors I
was getting with ndiswrapper.
