The issue was not solved by any version of ndiswrapper (also, the latest in Hardy is newer than 1.52). I tried running ndiswrapper with a higher debug setting, but because of the seeming randomness of the bug, the log files filled and caused problems before the ndiswrapper bug manifested itself, so I still had no debug output from the actual breakage when it occurred.
