Thank you to everyone who commented, but it turns out I did not need to upgrade my kernel after all. Thanks to the tips I received here, I dug a bit deeper into the jungle of kernel modules and lo and behold, there IS a kernel module for this WLAN card for the current kernel. I found it using the software search on the openSUSE site. There was a kmp package from linuxwireless.org available here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home%3A/beyerle%3A/IAC/openSUSE_11... This package provides support for newest WLAN cards, based on the mac80211stack. I installed this package, rebooted the machine and the WLAN card was magically loaded. I can now configure it through KNetworkManager and connect. So thanks for the help everyone, glad I got it solved!
