If you just cut and paste, it should bring you back to where you are currently at boot. You will never need to do this again since that script simply or addends things to the /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper file. Take a look and the file to see if these things are not duplicated.
Please look in dmesg for something if regards to ndiswrapper. That is what you are looking for. Forget everything else.
Yeah, this second go around I made it permanent and the changes stuck. I still can't connect through wireless. WICD sees the wireless networks (mine and a few of my neighbors') but locks up when I try to connect to mine.
I ran the dmesg and found references to ndiswrapper (I'm putting in everything from the first reference to the last):
