Jorge,

If you can not find the correct Linux driver you can use ndiswrapper. This tool wraps your Windows driver (*.inf) into linux.

See: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

If you are using SuSE 9.1 > 9.3 its included in the distro. (others I would not know)

(I use ndiswrapper with Broadcom Linksys card)

HTH,
Peter

This can be done. It took some work, but i got it done with a different manufacturer of wireless card, same setup, different Linux distro.

Here is a start for you:

You may wish to refine my search to get the specifics on your hardware.
