Okay, i know that this has been gone over a few times, but i i haven't found out how to solve my particular problem.

So here it goes: I downloaded suse for the first time last night and i am trying to set up my wireless card on my laptop. After doing a bunch of research i downloaded ndiswrapper and found the driver that i needed and installed it (successfully i believe). But when i set up my wireless connection from network connections, i think thats where everything goes down hill.

Right now when i type in ndiswrapper -l it says that driver installed, hardware present.

But, when i type in ifconfig i get: (p.s. i'm hardwired to my router right now)
HTML Code:
linux-c9ih:~ # ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:C0:9F:D1:3D:8C
          inet addr:192.168.1.65  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

and when i type iwconfig i get:
HTML Code:
linux-c9ih:~ # iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

sit0      no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.
So, any ideas? what am i doing wrong? from what i can see it seems like it dosen't realize that the hardware is set up. Thanks for your help in advance.
