You do not need the kernel sourcecode.  You 'yum install kernel-devel'
and then you have the necessary headers.  If you really need the kernel
sourcecode for building a kernel module, then something you are doing is
wrong.

yum install kernel-devel
cd /path/to/module/source
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.xxxx/build SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules
insmod yourmodule.ko

As a side note: using ndiswrapper isn't recommended, for a quite a few
reasons.  You have been warned :)
