Kimmo's answer seems to be appropriate. It is stated in the linked
thread :
        Now I am posting from my Linux Suse 10.1 from my Dell Inspiron E1705.

So I would assume it should work for you too.
Do you see the wireless card with the command 
  lspci -v
executed as root?
On my laptop I get a long listing with the line:

00:0a.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 
802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
 
What do you get?

Is it right you are using openSUSE 10.2 ?
