Default Wireless card not working


I just download openSUSE 10.3 and burn it as iso image and try to use it
as LIVE CD.Till to here everything is working fine.
When i try to connect to internet.The cad didnot detect any wireless
network.
I try to search somewhere around in the Yast2(I am new to
openSUSE,currently using ubuntu7.10).I open Yast2 and point to network
devices.And then click on network card.There it shows that card is
installed.
RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI and there its IP is not
configured.
Then i went to see the hardware information,that either my card is
installed OR NOT,but there it shows that card is inatlled and working.
Its working fine in ubuntu7.10 without changing anything.I tried
Ubuntu8.04 and the same issue there.Dunno whats the problem.
Any help will be appreciated,i heard that openSUSE community is more
helpful than ubuntu.
I am currently using LIVE CD.
Another from where can i install and uninstall my softwares and how to
install LAMP.Any source like synaptic to install directly.

Thanks

live cd can't run most wifi card.

wlan needs firmware and most can't be installed on a distribution cd,
so...

after final install on Hard drive, no more problem dl the firmware
