That is from kernel:stable kernel but its also in the 5.3 kernel from Leap 15.2

Done as suggested.

Code:

Re: Weak wifi signal

Look, thanks for all the work you have put into this, but I've been working on it since yesterday and I'm a bit burned out. I'm going to switch over to Ubuntu which works, and get back to any more suggestions you might have later.

I think you have broken all when you have installed to much kmps........

My last now is to install rtl8192eu and its blacklist once more, I have changed something.

And than reboot.

The openSUSE is stronger than the Ubuntu but still relatively weak, 30%. This is acceptable as I normally connect via eth0. The dongle is for dealing with cable interruptions. I think I can put the matter to rest and thank you for the work I have put you through.
