    OpenSuse has the same problem with my Ralink rt61. I ended up just using ndiswrapper, for a fix.

    It looks as if you have a RaLink chipset that uses the RT61 driver.

    I don't have any experience with setting up a RaLink card, but it should have a connection called "ra0". You seem to have one called "wlan0", this is usually what NDISwrapper calls its connections. Do you have NDISwrapper installed? If you want to use the rt61 driver, you may want to uninstall NDISwrapper.

    Here's a link on setting up the RT61 in Suse:
