It looks to me like the very first prerequisite says:

You need a recent kernel (at least 2.6.6 or 2.4.26) with source. Under
Red Hat or Mandrake, the sources can be installed using the package
kernel-source<kernel-version>.rpm.

Regardless, ndiswrapper-0.12rc1 doesn't compile on my machine without
the kernel sources.
