Thanks for this Colin, will try and get back to you, although from memory 
running IWCONFIG tells me that it has loaded a generic config file.

 No solution - but sympathy - it's not just you.

 I've got a WMP11 (no, the one that works with Linux) in my machine which
 ran like a clock under SuSE 8.2, then Debian, now I've gone back to SuSE
 9.3, it claims to have set it all up - the right modules are installed,
 iwconfig and ifconfig say the right things (but it ifconfigs seperate
 interfaces for ipv4 and ipv6) but it only ever seems to work for 10 seconds
 out of every 5 minutes, with no rhyme nor reason.

 1) What does lspci say?
 2) Have you told it which module to load in yast?
 3) is the interface reported as configured by ifconfig?
 4) what does iwconfig say?
 5) how are you testing the connectivity? (I just found out today that my
 laptop is definitely working fine - so the problems with my desktop).

 Given my current circumstances I'm keen to find out how you get on.
