I have Ubuntu 12.10 and whenever I run sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, I get the following error.

FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.

The command dkms status returns with...

ndiswrapper, 1.57, 3.2.0-32-generic, i686: installed

The make.log in ndiswrapper returns with...

DKMS make.log for ndiswrapper-1.57 for kernel 3.5.0-18-generic (i686)

I have installed commons, utils-1.9, dkms, source but it's still returning this error. How do I fix this?
