I had a problem with the rt2500 driver, that was working in the initial SUSE 10.1 version, but that as stoped working after an update of SuSE. I have reported this issue in the rt2500 project, but they suspect that this seems to be and issue with ACPI and PCMCIA bus on SUSE 10.1 

I normally install the RMPMS versions of the drivers found in the packman site but i have also have compiled and installed the drivers manually and face the following problem.

When I Insert my card, an Asus WL-107g, in the system log files we can seen that the "driver" will enter in loop with an ACPI: PCI Interrupt event. The card will not initialize:

I have also turned off acpi, and the error still happens, this time no message with the "ACPI: PCI Interrupt". I have only the message with:
