Wireless Not Working With Opensuse, Working With Pclinuxos

I just bought a wireless PCI card and installed it on my desktop.

It is a "DLink DWL-G510 Revision C " card. "lspci -v" shows
00:06.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g
Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DWL-G510 Rev C
Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 32, IRQ 21
Memory at db000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

A little search showed me that there are no native Linux drivers for this card, however, installing and using this card is very easy with the help of ndiswrapper.

Installation procedure.

1. I popped in the Windows driver CD and went to the Drivers directory (/media/hdd/Drivers/Drivers/Win2KXP).
2. Installed the driver using "ndiswrapper -i NetRt61G.INF"
3. Confirmed the installation using [root@localhost ~]# ndiswrapper -l
netrt61g : driver installed
device (1814:0302) present (alternate driver: rt61pci)
4. Added ndiswrapper to /etc/modules, to auto start at boot.
5. Refresh the network configuration using "dhclient" and get a IPAddress using DHCP.
6. OpenSUSE hardware wizzard detected that a new device is found and gave the option to configure it.
7. Due to some reasons "dhclient" is not able to find a wireless lan (send packet failed).
8. Cannot establish connection with wireless router.

I tried the same procedure on Granular Linux ( PCLinuxOS remaster) and was able to get wireless internet working, on the same hardware.
I thought that maybe this is an issue with DLink and OpenSUSE, so I tried on my Laptop, Dell 620 which has an Intel 3945 wireless adapter, on that machine I tried the Live CDs pf three distros
1. Granular Linux -- Wireless icon displayed in panel and a single click resulted in wireless network connectivity.
2. Kubuntu --- Exactly the same result
3. OpenSUSE -- Followed the same procedure, but it says that cannot connect to the network.

Not sure if I need to do something special on OpenSUSE to connect to wireless, but when Granular and Kubuntu can do this with so much ease, why can't OpenSUSE do it.

Please help me with this.

Recently I have turned a big fan of OpenSUSE and have written a lot of articles about it on my blog
abhay-techzone.blogspot.com.
OpenSUSE is the primary Distro on my desktop, but with wireless not working I cannot do the same on my Laptop where Granular ( PCLinuxOS) takes the cake.
