So,finally I have Opensuse 11 on my PC and it's so awesome so far but no internet!!
I don't have a PCI-E WiFi card.I use Netgear WG111 WiFi USB dongle and I have only Windows drivers for it.How do get it to work on Opensuse 11?
Wine?

Dude,I have a completely different story here.No LAN cards,WiFi card,it is a USB WiFi modem which need those sh1tty drivers.Oh those toddling dongles.They suck!

Mine is version one.If it were version two there would have been v2 at after WG111.How would I know that?Don't call anyone 'noob' without proper reasons.There was no v1 or v2 after its name.How the hell could I figure it out?
I would have known the version if I had bought it myself.Some idiot computer guy got it for me.

And thanks for that link.

Just to add to your very little knowledge about me,I have used Linux for about 2-3 months and I tell you I had a lot of troubleshooting to do.My GPU wasn't supported but I somehow managed to get it working.C'mon I got my Mac just 2 months ago!
YaST won't help.That stupid thing needs drivers.

The adapter works fine on ndiswrapper according to the wiki, see here

*ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,list_m-n/

entry number 9

For starters, you can install ndiswrapper through YaST
