I am trying to find a driver for my samsung intercept that will allow me to use it as a modem. my other laptop only sees it as a modem but the laptop i am currently using is running opensuse; and only sees the sd card. i have tried several dif. drivers and nothing works PLEASE HELP! my brother set up this computer for me and i am still learning how to use something that doesn’t use windows. oh. and i have been opening the driver .exe’s with wine.

Forget that approach - it won’t work.
Plug in your phone, open a terminal, and type the following command
dmesg |tail
That might tell us a little more about what the kernel has detected.
This will probably require the advice from someone familiar with this hardware, but AFAIU, these devices are ‘Android’ based phones, and as such Linux users have documented various methods to tether the phone for internet use. For example:
Tether an Android Phone Using Proxoid - Linux Magazine Online
This shouldn’t be too distribution-specific, if you read carefully, and adjust for openSUSE as necessary.
