Ndiswrapper will not survive reboot

[Alex Janssen]

I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 on my Dell 1501 with ndiswrapper-1.46 + Dell 
R140747.EXE and wireless works fine, but, my install won't survive a 
reboot.  To get wireless working after bootup, I have to issue "sudo 
modprobe ndiswrapper" each time, then Network Manager logs on the my 
AP.  Any one know how to make it stick?  Looks to me like it's getting 
loaded from reading the kernel log, below.

Here's my  /var/log/kern.log:
