Well, not sure I can help, but I am pretty sure that your boot msg issue is completely unrelated to your ndiswrapper issue.
I had a devil of a time getting ndiswrapper to work on my laptop, took me literally months to solve it. In my case, the problem was that SuSE had left an old version of the module on my system and that was interfering with the later version I had downloaded and installed. First thing I would check for is multiple copies of ndiswrapper.ko on your system (assuming you have the locate util installed, do a locate ndiswrapper.ko).
I KNEW THAT! So why didn't I do it earlier? Cause I thought I had. I had to do it on my other laptop a couple of weeks ago. Even going through that exercise wasnt enough. For some reason I couldn't get ifconfig down to disable the NIC and enable the pcmcia card to take the essid until I booted into xp and set the card up there. When I went back to suse it all fell into place. It's all black magic! I got off onto the symbols thing when I went searching through the net for some answers. Thanks for putting me straight.
