If the rt2860ST driver is already contained in kernel 2.6.29, it should be 
detected. I your driver comes from an external module, you have to find a RPM 
built for 2.6.29, or you have to build the driver yourself.

I had to enter yast network settings turn off NetworkManager, press OK, enter a 
second time and reactivate NetworkManager. After that the ath5k driver I 
needed for my eeePC works fine.

Be careful with updating the kernel. From time to time the kernels from 
Kernel:HEAD do not work properly, but most of time time they work well. And 
maybe at some point one has to upgrade other supporting software, too.
