After doing 'modprobe ndiswrapper', this is what I see in
/var/log/messages:

kernel: ndiswrapper version 0.4 loaded

Thanks for the pointer to ipw2200/2100 project, but I am trying to avoid
any kernel recompilation, since I need to do this on several machines
and I don't want to be packaging my own kernel RPM.=20
