OK, still no joy with this so here's a summary of how I have things set up (maybe someone will be able to see an obvious error), as this has to be a configuration error or something. Things I'm not sure about/problem areas are highlighted in red.
My Wireless Access Point is a
Linksys WUSB11 ver. 2.6 (I have the driver disk for this if I end up needing to use Ndiswrapper).

I read somewhere that the power saving feature in Windows can affect things and turned that off for the WUSB as recommended in the article.
I haven't installed anything other than what was installed when the OS installed (I now have the openSUSE 11.0 DVD installation media).
My box is set up to dual-boot openSUSE 11.0 and Windows XP Home. The WUSB works correctly from Windows.
Should I go ahead and try the driver from
http://at76c503a.berlios.de/support.html (I haven't done this as I thought it was the driver that's already installed) or the drivers from the WUSB installation disc with Ndiswrapper?
P.S. Happy Thanks Giving to all those celebrating! Don't celebrate too much - I still need your help!
