Those are really good links and good info, I bookmarked them, but the problem that sgleo87 is having seems to be different from what I've read. He SHOULD have a package available through YAST that has the firmware, at least as far as I can tell, and it simply isn't there. He also SHOULD be able to click on an RPM and have it offer him the option to install it through YAST. These two things are really bugging me about this.
Okay, after checking here:

It looks like the ipw-firmware comes with the retail box, or the "trial" version. If you download the pure OSS version, it probably won't be there. I'm hypothesizing now, so I may be wrong. I specifically downloaded the "trial" version, and it's in my install.
But I'm really concerned that he's getting an error message when trying to install an RPM. He's not even far enough along to be having the problems the people in those links are having. At least as far as what I read from those links.
