compiling

I just wanted to compile a kernel (as described here), but I got this error:

ubuntu/ndiswrapper/iw_ndis.c:1966: error: unknown field ‘num_private’ specified in initializer
ubuntu/ndiswrapper/iw_ndis.c:1966: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast

ubuntu/ndiswrapper/iw_ndis.c:1971: error: unknown field ‘private_args’ specified in initializer
ubuntu/ndiswrapper/iw_ndis.c:1971: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

Can anyone tell me what it means? Googling just came up with a result here on this site, where there was no answer, so maybe now someone knows.
