To see if it is already listed in Suse 10 you would go to: System/Control Center (Yast)/Network Devices/Network Card. If it detects it, it should list it on that current page. If it doesn't you can choose from a list which one it is and configure your card.

If it isn't in Suse 10, you may have to use Ndiswrapper. I use it and it works very well. If you need to go the Ndiswrapper route, post back and I'll assist you.
