I know that Linux is sometimes a hard thing. But don´t give up - everything I 
wanted could be realized! And the community is greeeat what concerns support!

Your laptop, does it have an Intel CPU? I know that there are Intel CPUs which 
are build up with 2 cores, and that´s why SuSE chooses the multi-kernel 
(=smp) at installation time. So this could be correct!

I mean if you checked in the internet if there´s a new version. The website 
is:
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/
But this should be one of the last things we´re going to do!

Next thing: After having installed the driver with ndiswrapper, please send 
the output of the following commands:

- ifconfig
- iwconfig
- rcnetwork status

Greets,
