Hello Alan,

are you sure that the package was installed? Look with 

dpkg -l module-assistant

And for the ndiswrapper packages. These packages are normally in the
main archive, therefore I don't understand why apt didn't find the
packages. Your /etc/apt/sources.list is ok? Make first an 

aptitude update

and then look if they are installable with aptitude.
