I found this guide Ndiswrapper howto - openSUSE

" Open YaST and install the software packages ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper-kmp-something (something depends on your kernel, usually: ndiswrapper-kmp-default) via: Software → Software Management"

but in my Software Management there is not any packages,

Do you really mean that YaST > Software > Software management (and using e.g. the search function, or Patterns) does not show any software packages at all?

and ( Ndiswrapper howto - openSUSE )part of this guide(network configuration) is not for suse 11.1
for example:

After installing ndiswrapper, open the Yast Control Center (yast2) and go to the Network Devices tab on the left side. Then click on the Network Card icon. This will bring up the Network Setup Method wizard. Accept the "User Controlled with NetworkManager" default and click Next.

there isnt Network Card icon there is only :
modem
ISDN
DSL
Network Settings

This is what I found out searching the internet.

1.- My usb adapter can only wotk on linux using ndiswrapper.
2.- I found a driver for it, and a guide to do that on NUB-362 EUB-362 Linux ndiswrappe
but I dont understand it very well.
3.- I try to instal driver with ndiswrapper following
