Do you see the hardware(Network card) in YaST==>Network Settings ?
if yes then
open a terminal or konsole and try restarting network service using
command “sudo systemctl restart network.service” and you should be able
to connect to network within a minute or so after the command exits.
you can switch to Network manager by going back to Network settings and
switching to NM in “global options” tab
if you don’t see the network card then you don’t have the relevant
drivers on your machine.you need to configure you hardware then.
