Wireless USB network adapter under SuSE 8.0

[kbb0927@cs.com]

Hello All,

Has anyone had any luck, gotchas, step-by-step files/sites with using
wireless USB adapter under SuSE 8 or any flavor of Linux?  I am convert-
ing my house's intranet to wireless and have gotten the first two pieces
as trial from CompUSA, a Siemens pcmcia card and a Siemens USB adapter.
So far I can only get this to work under WinBlowsXP, but would much
rather add the USB to my gateway/router box as a third adapter for my
cable modem to intranet access/masquerading/forwarding using SuSEfirewall2
v2.1.

What I've got now:

         Gateway box:  internet->cable modem -> eth0
                       eth1 -> intranet

What I would like
      
         Gateway box:  internet->cable modem -> eth0
                       eth1 -> intranet
                       eth-usb-0 -> intranet

Any help or gotchas would be appreciated.

Regards,

Keith B.
