The kernel module expects a certain version of loadndisdriver which is part of ndiswrapper-utils. Otherwise it fails.

If you really want this backward-compatibility (running an older stock kernel/older ndiswrapper while using the ndiswrapper-utils-1.1 or ndiswrapper-utils-1.8 packages) the module has to be patched to choose the right loadndisdriver (if installed).

I agree that installing 1.1 by default is _nonsense_.
