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).
