    It just came back to me. I had to uninstall the card via Yast network
    devices, then reinstall it and specify ndiswrapper as the driver (or maybe it
    was as the module). A misleading bit of behavior here is that you can't
    specify the driver by editing the card configuration; deleting and
    reinstalling the card (within Yast) is unavoidable.

    And the way you tell ndiswrapper about the Windows driver is with "ndiswrapper
    -i <driver>".
