ndiswrapper can't work on ppc machines because the windows wifi drivers are
not emulated but are directly run on the processor, which is impossible
here as they are made for the x86 architecture.
Why do you want to use ndiswrapper ? What wifi chip are you using ? If it's
for the broadcom included in most macintoshes, the b43 driver will do.
