It sounds like you are missing the actual ndiswrapper driver ("kernel module").
$ modprobe -l ndiswrapper /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-k7/misc/ndiswrapper.koAre you installing Ndiswrapper by downloading the source from the Ndiswrapper web site, or are you using the (most excellent) Debian packages?
Rumour has it that if you install 'module-assistant' then running 'module-assistant auto-install ndiswrapper' will download compile and install everything you need.
If you'd like to do it manually, install 'ndiswrapper-source' and examine '/usr/share/doc/ndiswrapper/README.Debian'.
