You have to
1. load the ndiswrapper kernel module (with insmod) first.
2. load the ndis windows driver with loadndisdriver,

now you can check with iwconfig if your card is started.
 From your report I think that the ndis windows driver seems not to be
working: your kernel crashes when you load it. Try some different (more
up to date) drivers and see if that helps.
