Perhaps this will work:

5. Compiling the latest version of ndiswrapper
It is recommended that you first remove any sign of ndiswrapper from
your computer. There is a module which installs by default with Ubuntu.
To remove this, from a Terminal run the following commands:
* sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
sudo apt-get --purge remove ndiswrapper-utils
sudo rm -r /etc/ndiswrapper/
sudo rm -r /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper
sudo rm /lib/modules/$(uname
-r)/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko
If that fails:

Good luck.
