From the error posted, looks like not enough cached DMA memory.

   * DMA memory: this memory is located under the 16 MB limit and is cached by the L1 and L2 caches
   * 'normal' memory: this memory is located above the DMA limit and is cached by the L1 and L2 caches, it can not be used for DMA buffers
   * slow memory: this memory is not cached or present on an add-on board, it can not be used for DMA buffers and using it for time critical kernel stack and SLAB would be disastrous for performance; we also don't want to use it for CPU intensive user applications

That doesn't look well for your small memory machine and using ndiswrapper.

Hello,

Have you tried creating/activating a swap file before running ndiswrapper?

Good Luck.
