We can try. What does not work, the download or the installation?
 
Can you give more specifics?
 
It's been a while since I used SuSe, but I seem to remember that the drivers are available through Yast update. They were offered through the update rather than installed directly with SuSe, apparently due to licensing issues. Have you tried this?
 
Take a look at the instructions at the following link;
