Arvidjaar, Um keep in mind that this penguin is very unfamiliar with drivers, signed or not, how to install them in the kernel, certificates, etc. So I suspect that is more likely the problem and not whether things work for everyone else. I have just never done this before, and like it when things are simply plug and play!
Here is the output your requested, I can at least follow simple instructions! LOL

OK here is my best guess of what you want to see, you are going to be way better than me at groking it! Sorry it is a bit long…

You are on Leap 15.4 and that ships no driver per default.
You can us the hardware Repo: zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hardware/15.4/ hardware
and can choose between:
1.:
rtl88x2bu and the kmp rtl88x2bu-kmp-default
or
2.:
rtw88-kmp-default
But not both at same time.
Both uses the openSUSE MOK key
Thanks Sauerland for your attempt to help this blind penguin back to the light. I installed the hardware package as you said to do, Then I used Yast2 to experiment with each of your driver installation scenarios. I checked to see if OpenSuSE was recognizing the wifi dongle after each attempt. When that failed, I uninstalled the package(s), installed the other one(s), rebooted, and again checked to see if the Cudy (Realtek) WiFi dongle was recognized and working. No Joy…
My question is, is there something else I am suppose to do after installing these packages with YaST2? Keep in mind I have never done this stuff before, so baby steps with explanations on what to do, along with complete commands on how, would be much appreciated!
You really trust the search results provided by an Alphabet subsidiary?
And, the GitHub Bug Report you’re quoting, hasn’t been closed and, it’s labelled as being “wontfix” – the human beings working the change requested have decided that, currently, they will not address this issue …
P.S.: I mostly use DuckDuckGo for WWW searches – for me, it’s more reliable and, it doesn’t include items which Alphabet deem to be interesting for me based on what they believe my physical location is …

LOL, No, of course not, I really should have said “doing some Internet research…”

That sucks, and leaves me high and dry without a solution, I guess… Maybe I will try purchasing a different WiFi dongle, any recommendations?

Actually I also use DuckDuckGo and IxQuick as my go to search engines and only if they fail to produce anything useful will I try Google.
This is your second boot entry (plain opensuse). Do you need this filesystem? There is some small chance that it interferes.
Please show
ls -lR /boot/efi
Thanks Arvidjaar for your response, sorry for the delay in replying, got too many irons in the fire around here! OK so here ya go, I think the SDA2 partition you were referring to is not used for anything, I think I had to expand the size of the /boot/efi/EFI partition for so reason and this is just a remanent… hths!

(or /rootdir/home/efi, whatever is appropriate. I am not sure why there are two mount points).
I do not see anything that would prevent MokManager enrollment request on reboot. More likely you missed it. It easy, it has 10- or 15-seconds timeout and is one time only.
