That the exact same card I have, and I gave up trying to get the proper driver. If you actually get it working, let me know!

Only if you're concerned with making things as pretty as possible.
Not to insult you or anything, but if you had to ask that chances are you probably can't do it.
Most people here who find those jokes funny read xkcd.
Have you tried using KonvenientSUSE to install it, could make it easier on you. Not sure how it works but its suppose to be an Automatix clone for Suse as far as i know. May give it a try.

I've got a spare box that I'm going to play around with. I don't have a real goal with it right now other than to experiment, since I've only had experience with Slackware and Fedora (and about a week of Gentoo, which failed miserably). Eventually I might want to get a couple giant HDs and make a fileserver, though I've had negative amounts of luck getting any kind of Linux working with my network (it can connect, but can't see/share with my Windows boxes). I was thinking about trying BSD since nslay seems to have nothing but love for it. Any other suggestions that aren't (K|X)Ubuntu?
