Default help: PCMCIA WLAN card doesn't work under SUSE 10.1

hi,everyone.

I have a TP-link WN510G card installed on my laptop, which works well under
WindowXP, but doesn't work in SUSE.

I have tried ndiswrapper and madwifi, but neither works. for ndiswrapper, it
just says the driver is installed, and WLAN doesnot work:

Tsin:/home/stephen # ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
11gadapter driver installed

the same with madwifi. installation is perfect without any error message,
and module load is ok, but there is just no wifi0 device and no wlan0
interface.

anybody help? thanks a lot.

It is not enough that you installed 11gadapter with ndiswrapper. What else
did you do? "modprobe ndiswrapper"? "ndiswrapper -m"? Configure this card
in Yast? Is there a /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan....... file?
