Here is as simple as it gets. It's a list of commands that I use with
Ndiswrapper:
*****************************

Commands

make install

ndiswrapper -i filename.inf

(Installing my wifi drivers with each new kernel. Make sure you are
in the directory where the drivers are located as root and you use
the entire path to them.) 
ndiswrapper -i /root/usr11gv40q/usr11g.inf

ndiswrapper -l

modprobe ndiswrapper

iwconfig

iwlist wlan0 scan

(If you have a landline adapter, this will become eth1.)
iwlist eth1 scan

iwconfig wlan0 essid "TA"

(Configuring my service at each loaction. In my case, it is usually
TA or flyingj. I'm a truckdriver. If I go from a TA to another TA, I
do not have to re-confiure it.) 
iwconfig eth1 essid "TA"

(Editing my eth1 file.) 
gedit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

dhclient wlan0 (Or eth1)

rpm -qa | grep kernal

ndiswrapper -e 

(With each new kernel) 
make uninstal

(With each new kernel) 
make distclean

(With each new kernel) 
make

(With each new kernel) 
make install

(List the installed drivers.) 
ndiswrapper -l

(Uninstalling my drivers with each new kernel.) 
ndiswrapper -e usr11g
------------------------------------------

Everything you need for Ndiswrapper is right there.
