You should see something in the /var/log/messages file when you
insert or remove the card.  I'm not familiar with the Belkin 54G
card, but I haven't had much luck with any of the 802.11g cards
with SuSE 9.2 or earlier (I have a couple here waiting for them
to catch up :-).  I'm using a USB 802.11b card on my ThinkPad 600
running SuSE 9.2 Professional.  This required some fiddling, and
installing software on SuSE 9.0, but worked out of the box on 9.2.
