Belkin Wireless USB Dongle openSUSE 10.3

Hi.

I have just recently got openSUSE 10.3 KDE desktop (my first Linux) and its fantastic. It would be even better if i can connect to the internet with it though. I have a Belkin G+ MIMO router (installed on another PC) that came with a wireless USB dongle (plugged into Linux PC). I installed the USB on windows xp with the Setup disc that came with it and it worked fine. But now that i am on linux i havn't got a clue what to do. I found Yast and checked my network services and it only picks up my intergrated Network Card and not my Belkin usb. Ive checked my hardware info and looked at my usb section, i found "Belkin unclassified device". I assume its not working because it has no drivers. There is no light flashing on my USB dongle (on windows it flashes).

Please can someone tell me what to do (and tell me step by step, im new to Linux).

PS. Merry Christmas.
