There is a loadndisdriver in my /sbin and nothing similar in /usr/sbin.

My /var/log/messages says :
kernel: ndiswrapper: unsupported module, tainting kernel.
kernel: ndiswrapper version 0.8 loaded
loadndisdriver: loadndisdriver: main(479): version 0.12 started 
loadndisdriver: loadndisdriver: main(483): Usage: loadndisdriver <debug> 
<version> [-a] [driver] 
kernel: ndiswrapper: loadndiswrapper failed (256)

Seemingly a conflict : ndiswrapper vs. 0.8 and loadndisdriver vs. 0.12 !?
Any clues ?
