Here I was expecting the worst, googling around told me how to make such a card compatible, but from online reports, the card would be identified, but not be able to work without help from ndiswrapper.
Today I simply configured my wireless network via Yast and lo and behold I connect, get a DHCP and I am browsing the net as you see here. No ndiswrapper looking for ini files, no hw/if up/down, just entering the wireless settings in yast – KInternet was shut too.
Funny how the simplest things work the best
