It was always problematic with regards to wireless networks. And googling will show many posts pointing out that it is bugged. So for the life of me I just don’t understand why it was included with the openSuse releases when it is so clearly broken.

However, I have discovered an alternative that works!

Wicd is an open source wired and wireless network manager for Linux which aims to provide a simple interface to connect to networks with a wide variety of settings.

Now when this software even has a page on the official openSuse website, why is it not in the official release?
