    in Mandriva linux you would get the original Windows drivers the INF files) and install 'ndiswrapper' and point it towards the INF drivers; i'd assume you do the same with Suse

    Yep I have had the same problem...My wireless card isn't supported and I am cinnected to a network so the only way for me to get the files is from Windows....And I have to rip them to a disk.....Because alot of distros don't have mounting NTFS partitions by default
