In YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Settings, my WUSB11 V2.6 802.11b Adapter now shows the IP as DHCP, whereas before it was 'Not configured'. Below, it says 'Not connected' and lists a MAC address I'm not familiar with (I have 3 written down for our network and it isn't any of these).
Also, an 'unknown network device' appears in the list which wasn't there before (and isn't configured)... So, I have three network devices in the list: 1) WUSB... 2) Unknown and 3) Ethernet Network Card.
How do I join our network now, assuming I've goofed on a setting somewhere (i.e., can you walk me through what I need to do from the start).

In Yast Network settings ,make sure Global Options is set to controlled with network manager - Uncheck the enable IPv6 - Hoste name to send is:auto and Check default route by DHCP.
Now go to overview and make sure your WUSB is highlighted - click edit
General Tab - select at boot time - External firewall zone - Check kinternet - My MTU is blank
Address tab - Dynamic DHCP
Now click Next
Here Operating mode = Managed
Network Name= the name ESSID in your router
Authentication: I use WPA-PSK (but use the same as your router)
Passphrase/Key= as set in router
Finish
In knetworkmanager in the panel
right click: Does your WUSB show in there as an existing connection?
If Yes - select edit connections
Check the ESSID - next
Enter security - next
Nothing to do at manual leave blank - next
Give your connection a name anything will do wg: WUSB - connect and save
