I've been trying to figure out getting this card working in Suse 9.2, it uses the Marvell chipset and worked in Mandrake 10 with ndiswrapper and the WinMe drivers. Suse seems to be detecting the card correctly during installation but I can't get it working. I've been away from linux for awhile and need a push in the right direction. Is there something else to configure or should I just ditch this config and go with ndiswrapper? Here's the output of lspci and lspci -n

Well, I don't have Suse myself, but I do use the same wireless card on Gentoo with ndiswrapper. For any linux distro, you've got to make sure that the ndiswrapper module is running for this card because there is NO linux driver for it at the moment. Let me know if you need further help in setting it up.
Thanks, I got it up and running with ndiswrapper and the xp drivers. Not sure exactly how I did it, but it works now When I saw the card was auto-detected, I thought that it was already configured etc, didn't realize I still needed Win drivers for it. My bad
