My wireless network appears to working fine. But I have one issue with
ndiswrapper which I can't figure out. When I execute ndiswrapper -l it
reports a different card driver loaded which is not.

[linux]> ndiswrapper -l
netwg511 : driver installed
device (1260:3890) present (alternate driver: prism54pci)
[linux]>

I blacklisted the prism54pci driver.

# driver blacklisted and replaced by ndiswrapper
blacklist prism54
blacklist prism54pci

Since I don't see any real problems in the network I wonder if it
matters. Is it normal for the other driver to be reported by this
command?

System:
[linux]> ndiswrapper -v
utils version: '1.9', utils version needed by module: '1.9'
module details:
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3228.fc7/misc/ndiswrapper.ko
version: 1.47
vermagic: 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS

I found my solution. I discovered that the reference pf prism54pci was
coming from the modules.pcimap file in the kernel modules directory. So I
ran depmod -a to re-write all the map files. Now when I run ndiswrapper -l
it just reports,

[linux]> ndiswrapper -l
netwg511 : driver installed
device (1260:3890) present
[linux]>
