Bug Description
I've been hit several times by a (fixed upstream) bug which leads to a kernel panic
I can reproduce it at will by uploading a 1 MB file in a Yahoo Mail attachment form
According to upstream changelog, the bug is present in version 1.45 and has been fixed in version 1.46
I'll attach a patch against current git (bb8f36cccead20
This patch fixes the problem for me

I suggest pushing in 1.49rc1 (instead of 1.48), because it contains some additional fixes.
(Ndiswrapper per se will never be "stable" because there is always new hardware and drivers and each of those is different, but having the latest version possible in ubuntu would really be of much use to its users. The chance that a new version introduces more bugs than it fixes is rather low).
Please note that the utils should also be updated as they sometimes also contains fixes for the ndiswrapper-script. Furthermore this avoids confusion, because the version-number of the utils-package will be identical with the module-version, then.
