ndiswrapper.ko doesn't exist on x86_64

I have installed [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01) WinXp_64 drivers with ndiswapper, but when I launch 'modprobe ndiswrapper', I receive this error message: "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found."
suse:/# rpm -qf /lib/modules/2.6.13-16-default/extra/ndiswrapper.ko kernel-default-2.6.13-16
Same problem on SUSE 10.0 Final GM, on x86_64 platform. File /lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/extra/ndiswrapper.ko doesn't exist.
I discovered a thing: package km_ndiswrapper-1.2-2.x86_64.rpm is missing from the DVD. I downloaded from http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source/suse/x86_64/ Installed it, and then: cd /usr/src/kernel-modules/ndiswrapper/ make make install depmod -a and now ndiswrapper module works.
As Werner shown, it is fixed in recent versions.
