Did you install the windows driver? (output from ndiswrapper -l), you didn't state if you're running i386 or x86_64 version of Opensuse, I guess you should use 64bits driver on 64bit Opensuse....
It's on the lspci output, so, it's "seen", the device will be created dynamically once the kernel module is loaded (ls -l /proc/net/ndiswrapper)

Many thanks for your help, Ciro, but I'm pretty sure I've got a hardware problem here. I've reinstalled Windows Vista on a 30Gb partition, and even that doesn't offer wifi! There may be a problem with the wifi on/off switch, which doesn't seem to stick in the on position. Do Dell have a good reputation as far as build quality goes, or do they just chuck 'em out as fast as they can build them? Currently reinstalling opensuse 11.0 64bit as second OS.
