Sorry if I interrupt this thread by telling my story
I have switched to ndiswrapper today and was able to get that up and runing at 11.0.
I followed the instruction here on opensuse with:
ndiswrapper -i <*.inf>
ndiswrapper -m
modprobe ndiswrapper
I did >: iwlist wlan0 scan at an early time and was now sure, that the wireless lan was runing, as I could see me own and others wireless routers.
But I had some problems keeping it runing, because I tried a lot after the YAST-configure, switching between ifup and NM. Also problems with the LED-bottom! Had to boot in windows to be sure the switch was on.
