Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.14/build
This looks like you're missing the kernel sources needed to compile the ndisdriver. If your distribution supports apt, try apt-get install linux-source-2.6.14.
I assume you have searched, then searched and once more searched for native drivers before going for ndiswrapper? If you haven't, you might want to. That's the preferred way, ndiswrapper is "a way around", if no other solution is available.
Well anyway if you want to see how this works, you should have spent 0.1 seconds with Google to find this page:
Manage ndis drivers for ndiswrapper.
-i inffile Install driver described by 'inffile'
-d devid driver Use installed 'driver' for 'devid'
-e driver Remove 'driver'
-l List installed drivers
-m Write configuration for modprobe
-hotplug (Re)Generate hotplug information
where 'devid' is either PCIID or USBID of the form XXXX:XXXX
