Clearly you missed the point of the exercise. :-) If you insist on
using ndiswrapper, then you don't need to load the firmware...
Please forget all about ndiswrapper. Remove any references to
ndiswrapper from modprobe.conf, and type the following command:
modprobe -r ndiswrapper
Then observe this part of my former message:

Afterwords, you probably want to run NetworkManager:
service NetworkManager start
With any luck, your wireless device should now be working. If not,
please check the state of your rfkill button.
Thanks,
