Correction:
1st - ignore all text in (...) above;
2nd - only pacman -S ndiswrapper or -S ndiswrapper-beyond will get
ndiswrapper-beyond installed because IIRC -Su doens't install missed
dependencies.

This also correlates better with Jürgen Hötzel's notice about users
choice of different module sets for different kernels.
When user doesn't want pacman -S ndiswrapper to install
ndiswrapper-beyond he/sh should put ndiswrapper-beyond in IgnorePkg
(assuming FR #6430 will be implemented ;-) ).
