    If you have a wired connection to your laptop, then just go to YaST > Network Devices > Network Settings and configure your wired card. ... although its unusual that your card was not configured automatically.

    Configuring wireless is a different kettle of fish.

    You could go to one of the openSUSE forums to get help on that. For example you could start by going thru the "stickies" here:
