[dave at spindle ~]# lsmod | grep ndis
ndiswrapper           231360  0

This is from an x-paste from an xterm that I used to ssh into my laptop 
while it only had a wireless connection (air gap to the wire).  Looks 
like zero usage is normal.  For comparison, the wired driver usage looks 
like:

[dave at spindle ~]# lsmod | grep 8139
8139cp                 41856  0
8139too                44992  0
mii                    22656  2 8139cp,8139too


Cheers,
Dave
