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
