In Vista it's no problem but in suse 10.3 I miss a Yast module for such a job.
Can anybody tell me the steps I have to take to come to a solution?
I'm a user of OpenSUSE sinds long, but no developer.
Thanks in advance.

Personally, I use ndiswrapper to install my WinXP or Vista driver , and it works great.
Here is a link to the various howtos:

Use the 10.2 instructions for Opensuse 10.3. You have to install and use knetwork manager to have a program to detect the various wifi networks available.

From the packman.links2linux.org site I could install wiki-radar for 10.3, but trieing to start it nothing happened!!
KnetworkManager as well as NetworkManager are installed, but I can't get them to work

What to do?
