The Linksys WPC54G works very well with SuSE 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3. I am 
using one at the moment. The reason that the people on the forum 
didn't give you much information is that you probably gave them 
squat, just like you did here.

Have you read the documentation for ndiswrapper? Have you installed 
the Windows driver? We need a lot more information before anyone can 
help you. If the Windows driver has been installed, what does dmesg 
have to say about your card?
