Open a terminal and post result of
/sbin/lspci -nnk
That assumes you are not talking about a USB device
no such file or folder found, something like this it replied.

You will see it’s not listed in our wiki here:
HCL:Network (Wireless) - openSUSE
Realtek list a driver here:
Realtek
BUT, you could do with waiting until @lwfinger sees this post and offers advice as to how to proceed.

That driver is not in any kernel. You will need to build the driver listed
above. You will need to install a number of packages to be able to build an
out-of-kernel driver. I don’t have time to go through them now, but I expect
that someone else will help you.
Building a driver is not easy. You will need either an ethernet connection or to have the install DVD. Only the DVD can supply the packages you need if you don’t have an ethernet connection. And if you use the DVD you need to disable the online repositories in Yast - software - repositories, or you will get errors. Then you need to install base-development, kernel-source.
That should be enough.
The archive that you download, once you extract it, there should be a file with instructions. I say should!
Look at this thread from ‘Compile Yourself’
openSUSE software installation hints
One think i did , i went to yast then found some thing like Hardware there i found “wireless”. I highlighted it it showed me some checks and some unchecks . I don’t know what i was doing but , the moment i checked those rest of unchecks >next(button) and it asked for DVD .I provided DVD installation disc , it has done something and later finished installation then I tried to open network manager> but the moment i clicked on network manager nothing happened several times tried and left , and posting for help
I have ethernet connection too… but I feel net is running slow .
thanks and regards
