Well, still nothing. Yast finds the blasted card even before the ndiswrapper is loaded, and when I load ndiswrapper, the machine crashes.
Many, many thanks to all who helped me with this, I know I've learned a lot about several things, but this is going to ruin my Christmas if I spend any more time on it, so I must give up and this poor kid will have to have Windows back again.
So, merry Christmas (or whatever midwinter you might celebrate) and many thanks to all,
As it Christmas why don't you ask his dad to buy him a D-Link AirXpert DWL-AG650 then you can plug it in and 2 minutes config and it's up and running. Just my 2cents worth. Wishing all out there in Linux land a very Happy Christmas Alan
