@Eric Appleman,

The issue you are seeing is a completely separate issue than what was
reported here.  You should track bug 590090 instead.  The issue you are
seeing is with the ndiswrapper dkms package (which I actually wasn't
aware even existed).  That package maintainer needs to apply a patch to
fix up the code as the following upstream commit removed mc_count from
struct net_device and converts multicast lists to list_head:

  commit 22bedad3ce112d5ca1eaf043d4990fa2ed698c87

    net: convert multicast list to list_head

However, I'm curious as to why you'd want to install the DKMS package
anyways as ndiswrapper is currently provided in the Ubuntu kernel.
