OK. It doesn't load. 
Can you try manually to load driver:
  modprobe ipw3945  

If it is possible you can try to run YaST 
  yast2 lan&

If ipw3945 fails try the other one.

Huh! Well, there's a thing. The modprobe ipw3945 worked a treat. All I have to 
do now, is try to make sure it stays there on reboot, but frankly, if I have to 
type that every time I start up, at least I'll be able to use it on my upcoming 
trip (starting tomorrow).

I'll play with getting it permanent for a while, and ask again if I fail.

Many thanks for your help, it's _much_ appreciated :)

Cheers,
Simon
