An ordinary google query on "ndis wrapper"  finds articles like

Usually installing things looks like this: your linux distro may come
with a package manager such as <strong>rpm</strong>.  If so, and if
you have a package (e.g. wvdial-1.41-10.src.rpm just to show what the
filenames look like)  then (as root)  "rpm -Uvh <filename>"  to
install "rpm -e <packagename>" to remove.
