I think the source should be a Source0 in kernel-module-ndiswrapper. I'm
not very comfortable with confusing people with src.rpms that have no
source in them. Yes, I know this means duplication of source code in two
SRPMS, but disk is cheap. Nosrc.rpms are part of the slipperly slope to
SuSE town. :/

Otherwise, I think you're right on target. (Ignoring the fact that I
think ndiswrapper should probably be ExclusiveArch: i586 i686)
