It is a bit curious for me that the kernel log messages mentioned above appear even after having deleted the lines with "wnihdd51.sys". Do you have any ideas for that behaviour?

To be honest, not really. My understanding of Windows drivers is fairly limited, but it seems that this one might be linked to more than just a single .sys file. I may be 100% wrong about that, but if this driver doesn't comply with normal Windows rules, it would explain why ndiswrapper and linuxant can't use it.

I found links to software from Airgo Networks Inc., die Producer of the used Chipset on the Linksys card, and from Belkin:

The stuff from Belkin is useless, at least for fixing your problem. It seems to be the software for one of their routers. I haven't been able to download the stuff from Airgo (their server is frighteningly slow) but again, if this isn't a driver for the cards, it probably isn't going to help your problem. At least not in the near term. It was something like this that allowed the Broadcom 43xx chipsets to be reverse-engineered, but that takes a LONG time to happen.

I use the 32bit version from OpenSuse and the mentioned software.

Nuts. I was hoping I had just overlooked something simple.
I think if you want wireless you're going to need to use a different card under Linux. I'm just not seeing anything wrong that I have an idea of how to fix.
