Well Sheeit.  I pulled my driver CD out and low and behold it has TWO
drivers on it, LSTINDS.inf which is for Texas Instruments and
lsbcmnds.inf which is for broadcom.  I used the TI .inf file and huston,
we are go.  The drivers loaded up, a trip through yast to set things up
and we have internet access!.  Need to work on WPA access then I'm 
golden.  If this stays stable, linuxant will be getting my $$$.

Cheers!
