Alright is there any new information on this driver?
I tried running /usr/bin/lsusb, but for some reason the program is not in there. I did an ls L* and could not find it. If I run yast-hardware-hardware information it finds it with no problems here is the out-put

ok, so we know that opensuse 11 64 bit can see it. what can I do do to get a driver up and working? I have never compiled anything before. I want to but some of the commands I try never seem to work so I have never successfully compiled anything. Thank you for any information anyone can give me. also for the future I will try to give better post…if you look around you will see I have not been a very good poster. (I read the wireless sticky which made me realize this, if you are new and want to post anywhere is this fourm, you should read it)

You need to install the usbutil package.

There are no built-in drivers for this device. You will need to use ndiswrapper.
See Swerdna’s instructions (http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtowireless.html) on
how to install and configure ndiswrapper.
Two things to remember - use a 64-bit Windows driver, and the XP driver is much,
much more likely to work than one from Vista. The “gotcha” is that it may be
hard to find a 64-bit XP driver.
Most problems in compiling programs arise from not having the necessary tool
packages installed. When you run into a problem, if you cannot figure out the
answer, post the error message and someone will help you get the solution.
ALRIGHT!!! Hey I have got the driver for my belkin Wireless N USB adapter installed with ndiswrapper it was perfect!!! here are the steps I did
My machine is 11.0 opensuse 64 bit
In the terminal
ndiswrapper -i /path/to/drivers/rt2870.inf (64-bit driver on the factory install cd
ndiswrapper -l
and than I went to yast network settings and installed it the rest of the way from there! I have just fallen in love with ndswrapper…
