What wireless card are you trying to install? If you don't know, then post the output of

Code:

lspci -v

Also, could you post

Code:

iwconfig -a

In SuSE, here are the steps I had to follow:
1) remove the automatically configured wireless interface through YaST
2) install driver via ndiswrapper
3) write module configuration via ndiswrapper
4) blacklist a bad driver (you may not have to)
5)

Code:

modprobe ndiswrapper

6) Added a new wireless interface through YaST
IMPORTANT! Under the box for "Module", type ndiswrapper
7) Restarted

well in iwconfig -a
" no wireless extension"

on lspci i got 2:08.0 network controler:Ralink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
subsystem: Linksys wmp54G ver 4.1
flags: buss master, slow devsel, latency 64 IRQ 3
memory at fe8e8000 (32 bit, non-prefectchable) [size=32 capabilities: [40] power management ver.2

right now it has the right drivers in it and the wireless interface sees it in boot up
