Under the Hardware tab, enter 'wl.ko' as the driver.

Humbly returning to my own thread, I find that the above does not stick
between reboots.

Specifically, I have to run the following two lines to load the driver

modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip
insmod /hybrid_wl/wl.ko

and then I have to go to Yast > Network Devices > Network Settings :
Hardware to tell the card to use the wl.ko driver.

I could put the above two lines into a shell script, but I feel there must
be a way of forcing this to happen earlier in the boot sequence, i.e.
before the login screen.

I'd welcome some ideas :)
