In my case trying to set up the Netgear in YaST as a pcmcia device did
not work under any configuration that I tried.  But setting the card as
eth1 (because eth0 already existed) as a wireless device did work.  

A look at /etc/sysconfig/network after using YaST to get the card
initially recognized should show what SuSE is using for your card i.e.
ifcfg-wlan, or ifcfg-eth0, or ifcfg-eth1, or ifcfg-pcmcia.  Perhaps with
this information you can then tie or bind the card, driver and modules
together.
