Yeah ndiswrapper can be installed via YAST.
Copy the windows driver to your hdd, the open a terminal screen and type "su" then enter your ROOT password.
Then "CD" to the directory you have stored the windows driver (you need the .inf file and the .sys file(s))
Type "ndiswrapper -i {enter name of .inf file here}
Then type "ndiswrapper -m"
Then "ndiswrapper -l" to check if the driver/module is installed
