I know. I have the same issue. YaST detects my card, but I can't find
any wireless networks. I filed a bug report months ago, which ended up
being a duplicate of bug #373098.

I originally filed my bug because it didn't work on my Powerbook and I
thought it was a PPC issue.

While I'm glad they are developing a module that can be put into the
kernel, I really wish they would have added full support for all the
cards instead of just a subset. Of course, they ported a driver from
a BSD project, so I guess YMMV.....

They have added support for all cards that they currently know how to
control. The blame really has to go back to the manufacturer, they are
the ones not supporting Linux here, we are trying to play catchup...

thanks,
