Yeah, I'm back again. Couldn't settle with the package management in OpenSUSE, although it - besides that - seemed quite okay.

I had no WLAN (wireless network) card, so I had to buy one in order to avoid the cables all over my apartment. And so I (accidentally) did, a Linksys WUSB54GC. After a few minutes surfing, I found out that it had the Ralink RT73 chipset, yielding an installation of the rt2x00-kmp-default-package:

zypper install rt2x00-kmp-default

I tried with the rt2500 at first, but it didn't seem to work - as far as I read, it's also to another chip-set, so it's not that weird after all.

Besides this I also installed a firmware from http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html (Firmware RT2501USB(RT2571W/RT2671)), but I really don't know it's actually required - and I'm to lazy to find out (it's Saturday!).
