Mick,
   Unless I'm mistaken, that module is ndiswrapper which was emerged
again after the kernel was rebuilt.

   In case you're not familiar with it ndiswrapper wraps around a
Windows driver that talks to the hardware. It's an interface between
the Linux driver stack and the hardware running a Windows driver.
There is no apparent native support for these wireless NICs in Linux
unfortunately so I'm forced to use ndiswrapper which worked OK under
gcc-3.4.6.

   If I'm mistaken about the above description I'm happy to be informed.

Thanks,
Mark
