The availability to do this is enough even if there are other
(possibly better) ways to do the same. One free driver _in_ Debian and
the package should stay in main.
But does the cipe-source build or ship the windows driver for use with
ndiswraper? I doubt that.
Which means you need some software (even if it is free) from outside
Debian for ndiswraper. That makes it contrib imho.
