I run OpensSuse Beta2 (x86_64)on a Toshiba laptop with a RTL8187b  
wlanadapter. The modules are loaded, but the card does not show up as  
wlan. iwconfig gives me:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

dmesg | grep -i wlan shows

usb 6-6: Product: RTL8187B_WLAN_Adapter

lsmod | grep -i rtl

rtl8187                52608  0
usbcore               188120  4 ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd,rtl8187

eeprom_93cx6           19328  1 rtl8187

i tried this from "Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.0_dev"

/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -u -f  
/var/log/wpa_supplicant.log &

an got as result

dbus_bus_request_name[dbus]: Resource temporarily unavailable
Failed to initialize wpa_supplicant

I tried to install the ralink-firmware package with yast but it said the  
package is not available. Then i downloaddt the package and installed it  
manual. Yast shows it as installed but with 0 files.

rpm -   ql ralink-firmware shows
