You missed one step. Did you;

sudo depmod -a OR

sudo /sbin/depmod -a

before doing ndiswrapper -m and modprobe ndiswrapper?

This adds the ndiswrapper module to the module tree, so SuSE knows that it is there.

I assume you are using ndiswrapper that came with SuSE and did not compile the package from source?

Also check to see (if you still have problems) if you have the kernel source package installed. A quick way to find this out is to navigate to the /usr/src directory and see if there is a symbolic link to your kernel there named linux.

As for what happens next, consult the ndiswrapper wiki installation page.

yea did that - got no errors there.

figured it out now i think. i downloaded the latest stable version of ndiswrapper and install that, went through all those steps , typed in demsg and that said somthing about the drivers not being 64bit (guess i should have said that i was using 64bit suse) | downloading 32 suse as i type this and hopping that will work.

thanks for the link BTW
