Nevermind
I fumbled a bit with zypper and managed to remove kernel-HSF just like a regular pakage (which i find astounding).
rebooted and bam, wireless working!
thank you all again for your patience and readiness to help where i had almost given up.
Thanks, i managed to do that yesterday. It was just a matter of installing the binary driver from the manufacturer’s website. I did try the generic drivers found in suse first, but print results were bad.
