Hi all,
If it'll help you, i also have an unsupported wireless lan card (not intel)
and here's what i've done to get it working:
Installed dhcpcd package.
chmod 777 /sbin/dhcpcd
/sbin/dhcpcd -G <router-ip> wlan0
and put a shell script at /etc/init.3 (or something like that) includes:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/dhcpcd -G 192.168.1.1 http://192.168.1.1 wlan0
and that completely worked, without any other software.It starts up
automatically on every boot.I'm sorry if this information is not releated
any ways (?).Just you can put a shell script to get it working on every
boot.

If it makes any sense to anyone, there's mention of martians in /var/log/messages ... (?)

I tried calling it ifcfg-wlan0 and the interface didn't come up. It wouldn't come up when I did the down/up thing either. Then I renamed it ifcfg-eth1. It still wouldn't come up on boot but it would come up if I
it down and up again. So just the same as when it had the long name.
Is there anything I can get out of the boot message that would show what was happening? eth1 does get a mention during boot but doesn't stay on
took the
screen long enough for me to see what happens.
I'd appreciate any comments.
Many thanks,

Thats what I had to do on my daughters laptop. I had to rerun yast on every boot until I did that.

In other words , what your saying is to rename:
ifcfg-wlan-id-00:12:f0:73:7d:a7
to
ifcfg-wlan0
