Well, actually I had a page saved that had (supposedly) a link to using
ndiswrapper with network-manager.  So the howto presumably exists, but the
link turned out not to go to a page that had anything to do with
network-manager.  Then it turned out that after getting my new wifi card to
work with ndiswrapper, I was premature - it doesn't actually need it!
