ndiswrapper.i386                         1.10-2.lvn5            livna

It is in the livna repository, so install/enable that repo and you will 
be able to install it from rpm.  I installed it both ways on a laptop 
trying a similar thing and it worked the same either way, but I think it 
is good to use an rpm whenever possible.
