More info:
1. dmesg results seem to be good:
[   14.270854] ndiswrapper version 1.53 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
[   14.358992] ndiswrapper: driver net5211 (,11/15/2006,5.1.1.9) loaded
[   14.359358] ndiswrapper 0000:00:0b.0: enabling device (0010 -> 0012)
[   14.359593] ndiswrapper (ZwClose:2198): closing handle 0xf78975a8 not
implemented
[   14.969994] ndiswrapper: using IRQ 17

[   15.186802] wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA, WPA2,
WPA2PSK; AES/CCMP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK
2. ifconfig seems more like you described. Entries only for eth0, lo and
wlan0. wlan0 looks like this:
wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0e:9b:cf:bc:0c
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          Interrupt:17 Memory:e2010000-e2020000
