How to compile ndiswrapper as module for custom kernel

I want to compile my own kernel but I need ndiswrapper and I don't see it in any of the config screens.

ndiswrapper is not part of the kernel source. Its a seperate package all together.

Yeah I know but when I compiled a custom kernel, and it booted, it couldn't find that module.

If you choose at example "-custom" for CONFIG_LOCALVERSION than you could append this to the pkgname (pkgname=ndiswrapper-custom) and replace "-ARCH" with it (_kernver=2.6.25-custom; KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.25-custom' in the install file). And you have to edit the depends array, which depends if you install your kernel manual or have a custom kernel package.
