I am a 2 day newbie, I need some help how to install ndis wrapper so that I can install my windows drivers for my dlink dwl-122...I really do not understand what the website is telling me to do so the simplest step by step would be best....I am in the gnome GUI on Suse 9.2 and I have the wrapper copied on my CD..

I don't think you really want to be installing windoze drivers on GNU/Linux! Here's a howto on how to get one going under linux: http://julian.coccia.com/article-53.html

I appreciate the info, but I am still trying to understand the Linux language...based on these instructions on the link you gave I am assuming that I have to download A. a kernel source, in my case 2.6.8 B. File: linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre25.tar.bz2
am I understanding this correctly?

It looks that way. The only difference being that you mention linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre25.tar.bz2 rather than the one in the howto linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre16.tar.gz. The main difference being the compression format used. Instead of the command: tar -zxf linux-wla.... use tar -jxf linux-wla.... Also make note of the different command give when using a 2.6 kernel like yours. You could try the process starting from the part where you download and compile just the linux-wlan-ng drivers rather than having to recompile your kernel....but it may fail as Julian says. Recompiling your kernel is probably a good idea anyway, just take your time going through all the choices. If you are going to compile it from within a graphical X session then instead of the command: make menuconfig use make xconfig or make gconfig
