  for what it's worth, i just installed the 64-bit flash plugin into
SLES 11, works fine.  don't bother with packages -- grab the tarball
from here:

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

open it up, and copy the single library file into
/usr/lib64/browser-plugins/.  kill all your running firefox instances,
start again.  to verify, browse to "about:plugins" and the flash
plugin should be listed.

  again, the above is for 64-bit.  no need for ndiswrapper.
