I got it working. You create a .config file (that's the name of the file, nothing comes before .config, just plain old .config) and enter the proper settings in there. Then save the file in the folder with the wpa_supplicant data, then run the make command in the folder. Transfer wpa_supplicant wpa_cli wpa _passphrase to your /usr/sbin/ dir (must be root). Then create the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /etc/ (follow the ndiswrapper wiki directions) and when you're done run the command wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Bw and it should work. Notice I said SHOULD. This worked for me, but I couldn't get it to do this on boot, so I've given up for now. Sometimes when I booted up it didn't work, so I don't know about that either.

Pretty cool commands considering that wpa_supplicant is incuded with Suse 9.2 and installed by default...

Yeah, you can install it via Yast (or just use it if it's installed by default) and just run the command. I got the latest version and set it up myself. I forgot you could get it via Yast.
