Which gives me an idea (this is just a shot in the dark). How did you
install the newer kernel? May be yast still thinks that 2.6.18 kernel is the
only one installed and hence in installing _binary_ package of ndiswrapper
even when you are running the newer kernel.

Installing ndiswrapper from source should be the fix then.
