This looks wrong. Try:

pre-up if grep -q ndiswrapper /proc/modules; then : else modprobe 
ndiswrapper; fi

But that's not as clean as:

pre-up grep -q ndiswrapper /proc/modules || modprobe ndiswrapper

Of course, you could modprobe ndiswrapper unconditionally, since 
modprobe won't take action if the module is already loaded.
