I pluged it in and it seems plug and play but DHClient doesn’t return anything on any of the networks that I bind myself to. I believe im on version 11.1 Suse. I get two adapters that show up, “wmaster0” and “Wlan0”. I found this link but im not sure on how to use them / compile them. http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_chipset.php?chipset=Realtek
Im Running a 1000HE as well and went to the ASUS homepage download the XP drivers for lan and did ndiswrapper -i and the inf along with ndiswrapper -m, ndiswrapper -ma, ndiswrapper -mi and it showed Present and Installed and it bounded my Ethernet drive to Wlan but I checked and it dident show up at all, network Management shows that Eth0 or Wlan0 wasn’t present in the kernel or something along those lines.
And I dont know if this helps but I belive the inf that LAN was using was athw.inf
Thanks!

You should not need to use the Windows drivers/ndiswrapper with an rtl8187.
Please go to the wireless forum, read the stickies, and post actual information
about your device. The output of ‘dmesg | grep rtl’ would be a good start.
Thanks for the Headsup!
Issue was solved as soon as I went to 11.1 you guys had alot more driver support for the Chipset I had!
Worked right out of the box! thanks!

The real clue is the kernel version. There were a lot of changes to
the rtl8187 driver before 2.6.27. You will probably like openSUSE 11.2
even more as there are some significant changes that came out since .27.
