JFTR: It's 0.8-rc1, not yet 0.8. ;)

I updated the package to the new upstream version 1.21 (old one was
1.18), as usual it's available in the grml-repos. Can you please try
that?

  wget http://grml.org/repos/ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.17-grml_1.21-1+grml.06_i386.deb
  dpkg -i ndiswrapper-modules*.deb

JFYI: I also updated linux-wlan-ng and rt2x00 drivers.

regards,
