      Well, not sure I can help, but I am pretty sure that your boot msg issue
    is completely unrelated to your ndiswrapper issue.

      I had a devil of a time getting ndiswrapper to work on my laptop, took
    me literally months to solve it. In my case, the problem was that SuSE
    had left an old version of the module on my system and that was interfering
    with the later version I had downloaded and installed. First thing I would
    check for is multiple copies of ndiswrapper.ko on your system (assuming
    you have the locate util installed, do a locate ndiswrapper.ko).

      The other thing is check out the post in the forum here...
    <http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php?showtopic=4327> I
    found it very helpful in getting mine to work.
