I have the same wireless card and SuSE 9.2 Pro supports it perfectly. I think you have to get the driver from YOU because they can’t put it on the install discs, but I don’t recall for sure. There is a small patch you have to apply when you have two devices attempting to access DHCP (i.e. an ethernet card and a wireless card). Hunting around on the SuSE site should produce the answer—search for DHCP. I love SuSE—wireless card and suspend work great on my Dell Inspiron 4150.
