Yeah, I had same problem. Install "ndiswrapper" and then copy all ".inf"
files (and maybe ".sys" files also) from windows driver. Follow
"ndiswrapper" to install driver from Windows drivers and your wireless
neteork will then work like a charm!

No wireless adapter appears in network manager, and none shows when I
do an ifconfig. However, in YAST I see two hardware detected (see
below).
What do I have to do to get this working? What module should be
loaded, how do I understand what YAST is telling me?
From Yast/NetworkDevices/Network Card:
the "name" is:
"Wireless LAN cards using direct PCI Interface". When I
edit/Advanced/Hardware Details is says:
"configuration name: wlan0"
"Hardware name: static-0"
"Kernel Module"
"Hardware Configuration Name: static-0"
"Module Name: orinoco_pci"
from the yast hardware report:
