The system cannot find "apt-get" because the program just isn't there. Furthermore, ndiswrapper is not included in the official fedora repositories. There is a tutorial on setting up ndiswrapper on Fedora: http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/ndis-yum-livna . This text assumes you have configured yum to use the livna repository (which does contain the ndiswrapper packages) as explained in http://fedoramobile.org/solved/post-install-solutions/yum-config/ . I hope this will be enough to get you started.
