Greetingz!
Okay, for starters, notice those lil faces? You can avoid that by wrapping the output you cut-and-pasted with [code] & [/code] tags.

Second, your output looks right for wlan0. So you need to use "NetworkManger" (or Knetwork manager if you're using KDE) to configure your WiFi card to connect to a Wireless access point (which I'm assuming you have a WAP somewhere, and you know the ESSID & whatever passphrase you need to connect, right?).

Third, have you ever successfully used this WiFi card to connect to the WAP in question? The reason I ask is because some WiFi cards do not support certain encryption implementations. This has been a source of many a frustration for me in the past, especially with cheap WiFi cards.

Fourth; I'm sure you've visted the openSUSE WireLess Forum, and saw the three sticky posts at the top of the forum, right?
