Network Card (wi-fi) Settings Are Not Saved

I have ASUS WL-107 PCMCIA card
After I install this card into PC Card slot, I see it in my hadware list
To set it up, I have downloaded drivers and installed it, as it's written herehttp://blog.linuxoss.com/2006/05/14/suse-101-and-rt2500-wi-fi/

I see my card in Network Manager, but I see it as if it's not configured
I try to configure, enter all settings, press Finish. But if I open it again - I see this card as it's not configured again. I try to chooose to use or not to use Knetwork Manager - it does not help
May I know - why my card does not save settings?

PS - after I install drivers and made modprobe rt2500
I DO NOT see interface in ifconfig, but I see it in iwconfig! Why?
