I must admit I haven't played with SuSE in a while, but one bit of 
hardware that apparently recent versions support
is hardware using the ACX 111 (Texas Instruments) wireless chipset.
Which is more than can be said for Fedora.  I think I did get most of 
the way through the process of grabbing the firmware
image and compiling the kernel module, but I couldn't get it going 
straight away, and moved on to some other project
I think.  Has anyone else got any experience to share with using 
acx111-based wireless cards under these or other distros?
