Getting ndiswrapper to work is a pig. I am running it right now. You need to 
run make xconfig and then go to the kernal hacking area and uncheck the use 
4k Stack option, This will give you 8k stacks which might work, If you need 
16K stacks for your card you are out of luck with Fedora. And then make 
bzImage, make modules , make modules_install , and make install etc. This is 
all after you install kernel-devel as pointed out below. Good luck. You will 
need it.
