--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
After the weezy release, version 1.57 of ndiswrapper failed to build, due
to the upgrade of the linux kernel to 3.8.
Because of this I was unable to connect to the internet via wifi.

My solution:
** I downloaded, via another machine, the 1.58 version, that can be built
with linux kernel 3.8,
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper

** Removed the installed 1.57 version by
# dkms remove ndiswrapper/1.57 --all

** Unpacked the source in /usr/src (creates /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.58)

** Placed the attached dkms.conf in /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.58

**  Added and installed the new version by
# dkms add ndiswrapper/1.58 --all
# dkms install ndiswrapper/1.58
