Since you rebuilt the kernel, you'd probably need to recompile
ndiswrapper against the new kernel. I saw that you mentioned that you
did just that. Perhaps first remove ndis from module.autoload, and see
if you can modprobe it by hand? It could be that even though you
recompiled ndiswrapper, it was compiled against the wrong kernel
version or something, so the module cannot load?

This is the only thing that comes to mind right now. 

The new kernel that you compiled, is it the same version? Or a
different one? If it is different, perhaps you can try (if you saved
it) booting into the old one and see if you can modprobe ndiswrapper
(The old one should still be in /lib/modules under the correct kernel
version). 

Best,
