[10.3] Senao 2511cd+ext2 Doesn't Work

Suse recognises the card as Intersil HFA384x/IEEE, yet I can't get a connection with my wireless network

I've done some reserch before buying this card and it says it's supported in the kernel from 2.6.14, yet mine isn't working.

What am I doing wrong?

(btw Windows works with it just fine)

*bumb*

Not familiar with this hardware, but two commands (from root console)
that might help produce more info:

pccardctl ident
lspci -v

What version of opensuse do you require help for?

It's for 10.3

lspci:
Socket 0:
product info: "INTERSIL", "HFA384x/IEEE", "Version 01.02 ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)

I've got a suspicion my card has a prism 3 chipset instead of 2

The key information are the vendor and product IDs:

0x0156, 0x0002

I used google with '0x0156, 0x0002 wireless suse' and similar, to come up with a few links (shown below). I've seen evidence that it could require the 'orinoco' or 'orinoco_cs' driver.

Try using YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Card to configure your wireless device. You should be able to click 'Add', choose 'Wireless Device' then 'Select from a list'. (With openSUSE 10.2, there is an entry for 'Lucent Orinoco and Prism II based...cards', not sure about 10.3 though).
