This can happen if you try to compile a newer version of ndiswrapper,
and then revert back to the stock ubuntu version and forget to
downgrade the newly compiled module.  I had this problem with
mismatched ndiswrapper userspace utility and kernel module.  I fixed it
by either re-installing the linux-image or the ndiswrapper-utils
package.



sudo apt-get install --reinstall ndiswrapper-utils
