There is no package named ndiswrapper.  It's part of ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
(or perhaps some other version of ndiswrapper-utils).

And I'd personally go with madwifi before ndiswrapper :-)  However, some
chipsets that have two options work better with one than another.  Mine is
supposed to be supported with the native acx driver, but works better for
me with ndiswrapper.  So it's worth trying both.
