Does ndiswrapper work on Opensuse 11.1?

If you want an rtl8187 driver that works well, you will need to use the
compat-wireless package, or upgrade to a 2.6.29 kernel.

With the latest kernel, mine runs for days with no interruptions in service.
There are a few disconnect/reconnect sequences, but they happen automatically.
The transmit rate through my network using the utility tcpperf is 21-22 Mb/s,
which is about the most one can expect for 802.11g.

Ok. I’m going to try install the compat-wireless package. Do I have to do anything of particular, besides installing it? Should I install compat-wireless-kmp-pae, too?
