Glad to help out - if you have issues, a post in the forums at 
forums.opensuse.org is usually a good way to get the issue sorted out. :)

If the hardware you're using requires binary firmware to run, there is an 
extra step needed to get it working (because it's SUSE/openSUSE policy to 
only include free software and not binary blobs - an untainted kernel is 
a goal of the project), but that's usually very quick to sort out.

There's a very good sticky post in the wlan forum as well to help with 
wlan issues - and one of the kernel wlan developers helps out in the 
forum as well. :)
