Kernel Update - Ndiswrapper no longer works


Code:
linux-jr60:/home/speng # modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.
linux-jr60:/home/speng # uname -r
2.6.27.11-2-default
Pretty much self explanatory. Is there any way of forcing ndiswrapper to work? I have the newest version, ndiswrapper -m returns:

Code:
module configuration contains directive install pci:v000014E4d00004320sv00000015sd00001737bc*sc*i* /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper
;you should delete that at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 868, <MODPROBE> line 595.
module configuration contains directive install pci:v000014E4d00004320sv*sd*bc*sc*i* /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper
;you should delete that at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 868, <MODPROBE> line 596.
adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper ...
Any ideas?


Edit: Look at this cool website I found www.google.com

ftp://ftp.wolfmountaingroup.org/pub/....6.27.7.tar.gz

Success.

If I understand this correctly, you tried using a version compiled for a different kernel - did you recompile ndiswrapper?
