Weird... My rt2500 cards (one PCI in my PC, one PCMCIA for my notebook) are detected automatically and work flawlessly on 10.0. The driver is GPL and included in the distribution's kernel. Must be something fishy there...

Just want to note that it is not present in the SMP kernel (for us P4 HT folks). This took me a while to realize, I am currently running a non-SMP kernel (detected without problems, albeit silentlly) but would like to switch back. No tips by any chance how i would enable the module in the standard suse 10 SMP kernel?

If you look at the sources for this driver, you'll see that the compile is explicitly disabled for SMP. Usually that means it's broken in some way, so you can't get it until someone steps up to fix it
