How to solve usb tethering not working in opensuse tumbleweed?

All you need is opening a terminal and issuing:

sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist-rndis.conf

or, if you want to be more selective,

sudo cp /usr/lib/modprobe.d/50-blacklist-rndis.conf /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist-rndis.conf

then comment out the last line in /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist-rndis.conf so that it reads:

blacklist rndis_wlan
blacklist usb_f_rndis
# blacklist rndis_host

If you just need it once in a while, you may also issue:

sudo modprobe rndis_host

only when you need tethering.
