modprobe can't find ndiswrapper

OK, I'm taking the challenge at the top of the newbie page, htis is my first post.

I just installed FC5 and I am trying to get my WPC54G nic card working using ndiswrapper.
I can get:

Code:

ndiswrapper -l

to respond with:

Quote:

lsbcmnds driver loaded-hardware present.

The

Quote:

How-To

I am going by says the next step is to run:

Code:

depmod -a

That takes several seconds to complete and seems to complete successfully.
The next command is:

Code:

modprobe ndiswrapper

.
It returns
"modprobe: Cannot find Module ndiswrapper"
I have a listing of a terminal session showing this if that will help. Keep in mind I am a newbie to Linux so don't assume I know anything!
If I run the command to show my hardware configuration the PCMCIA NIC shows up properly as a broadcom 4306.

HELP!
