Installed openSUSE Factory using the openSUSE-Factory-NET-i586-Current.iso.
During installation, wireless is detected but unable to connect so the installation was performed with Ethernet (RJ45) cable instead of wireless.
After installation,
noticed that when using Ethernet (RJ45) cable, do not need to wait much for the internet connection to be established during boot up.
However, if I were to remove the Ethernet cable and try to connect using wireless during boot up, will need to** wait approximately 2 minutes** before openSUSE activates the wireless connection.
Not wanting to wait for the 2 minutes for wireless to connect,
wanted to configure wireless in Yast but the option is masked out as shown below.
openSUSE Factory does not have **Traditional Method with ifup **any more,
it comes with nrickert had mentioned,
NetworkManager Service
Wicked Service
Network Services Disabled.
Hi nrickert,
Did try switching to Wicked and Disbling Network Service.
It allows the configuring of the Wireless and Ethernet connection but the 2 minutes wait is still there, even after reboot.
Thanks anyway, 2 minute is a long time but still bearable.

You should be able to eliminate any bootup delay when using NetworkManager if
you uncheck the “System Connection” box in the Connection Manager. If not, you
should report a bug for Factory.

which is why you should have asked in the prerelease-beta forum, aka
factory forum, here: because there you have more chances of finding
people familiar with factory and its new features.

On a desktop, network startup is noticeably slower with NetworkManager than with wicked, but that’s for ethernet. It’s probably still less than 2 minutes. So you may have something else happening that slows down wireless.

Couldn’t locate the “System Connection”. Maybe because I’m running Factory ?

Thought of that before posting and afraid someone may say “this is a Network/Internet” problem

No matter what subsystem is causing a problem, difficulties with pre-release
systems should be reported in the prerelease-beta forum.
I ran Factory on one of my machines for a while and found wicked to be opaque.
After an upgrade rendered the box unbootable, I switched back to 13.1. I will
try Factory later. Fortunately, I have two alternative partitions for /.

My expectation is that you won’t like it until 13.3! At least my early
encounters with wicked were not a complete success.

Thankfully, 13.1 will be supported by Evergreen
