open a terminal
type
lsusb
do you see
Huawei 12d1:1446
if so, your device is still seen as a virtual CD-storage device;
you need to flip its ID so it is seen as a modem
You need usb_modeswitch; it is in the OpenSuse repositories
and also here
install that; if all works well, the ID in lsusb should now be
12d1:1001
and
dmesg | grep tty
(copy and paste into a terminal)
should show ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 etc
to read up on usb_modeswitch
go here
Draisberghof - Software - USB_ModeSwitch
Your next problem may be to know what the apn setting of your mobile broadband provider is; OpenSuse does not provide this; it asks you to research this;
eg see here
