You have to have ndiswrapper module - not ndiswrapper-utils, -common or whatever. So you have to download the ndiswrapper sources and follow INSTALL instructions. Then you can have your wireless network again.
# look for .config and include
/tmp/ndiswrapper-1.53$ ls -la /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
/tmp/ndiswrapper-1.53$ sudo make uninstall
NOTE: Not all installed files are removed, as different distributions install ndiswrapper files at different places.
Run uninstall as many times as necessary until no "removing" messages appear below.
