On Lenny, you would usually want to build this dependent kernel module
using module-assistant, which automates installation of prerequisite
packages, the process of compiling module source and binary module
installation. See [1].

Pre-compiled NDISwrapper modules were last available for Debian 3.1
("Sarge") via the ndiswrapper-modules-i386 source package, removed to
resolve Debian bug #418929.
Efforts were made for inclusion of module packages built from
linux-modules-extra-2.6 (BTS #385553, #400752), which itself was
eventually removed (#552369) in favour of DKMS or other out-of-tree
build method.
The inaccuracy of pre-compiled module availability within
ndiswrapper-source's package description (added in version 1.53-1) was
corrected at ndiswrapper version 1.55-1.
