I never had much luck with the rpms on my SuSE 9.2 (compag laptop with 
integrated broadcom 802.11g), but never had any trouble with the generic 
version.  When I upgraded to 9.3, the system could no longer compile the 
linuxant kernel module.  I downloaded the new installer and things fired 
right back up with no problems.  Just download the latest and greatest 
linuxant package and all will be well.
