emerge -q ndiswrapper seems to go okay but modprobe reports that the ndiswrapper module is an invalid format. I have an attachment (from ndiswrapper-buginfo) that I will send once someone requests it.

Your kernel modules have to be compiled with the same gcc version as the kernel or the kernel will not allow you to modprobe them. Use dmesg to find out what version your kernel was compiled with. Either run make clean && make on your kernel to compile it with the newer kernel or use gcc-config to compile ndiswrapper with the old gcc.

<snip> ndiswrapper: version magic '2.6.15-gentoo-r1.6 preempt PENTIUM4 gcc-3.4' should be '2.6.15-gentoo-r1.6 preempt PENTIUM4 gcc-3.3' </snip> It just plain won't work if you compiled kernel w/ different gcc version than its modules.
