One of the things you might do is look at what dmesg says about your card. I had an awful time finding a wireless card that worked with my notebook and SuSE 9.1. (I own 9.2-Professional now) I ended up with a card by Symbol Technologies (a Nortel card with a big antenna) that was plug and play. I put it in, SuSE auto-detected it and whammo, I was up and running - though I did have to create a "profile" for wireless in which I disabled the eth0 regular ethernet, the routing seems to get messed up.
Try dmesg and then google the specific model. Hope it helps a bit.
I use a Linksys pcmcia wireless card in my laptop and it works quite well. I needed to install the driver using the ndiswrapper program. After the driver is loaded finish the config using YaST. There are good docs under /usr/share/docs/packages/ndiswrapper. Follow them and you should be able to get the card up and working in no time. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989 SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please*
