It looks like the card came with own module "ipw2200" which is in the /lib/modules/. In fact I get the following:

This module is known to YAST as well. We get an IP address but still we cannot connect:
If you got an IP, your wireless is turned on, and it is working (i.e. communicating with your wireless router.

Can someone help?
It sounds like you do not have a gateway. What is the output of /sbin/route -n? If it shows no gateway, it is probably because of a misconfiguration of your ethernet card and wireless. Since you can only have one gateway, dhcp probably is setup on the ethernet to get the address and gateway. Try setting both network adapters to STARTMODE=ifplugd (IIRC). I believe this will, if the ethernet is not plugged in, will allow the dhcp client to assign the gateway for the adapter that is actually working at the time.
