Works like a charm for me (suse 7.3, linux-wlan-ng-0.1.15.tar.bz2).
The biggest headaches I had were:
1) I needed to do a "make" in /usr/src/linux to get the version.h
   files.  Don't redo your config.
2) yast[2] doesn't know about wlan (7.3!), so I had to edit a bunch of
   config things by hand -- the routing tables were the biggest
   headache because the info (at the time) at suse was wrong.  Don't
   forget 

alias wlan0 prism2_pci

   in /etc/modules.conf

Note: I am using a PCI card -- not PCMIA.
