Follow up to my earlier post,
I've only been following conversations in this mail list peripherally
because most of my recent work hasn't been on ARM hardware, but it's
my impression that current openSUSE Factory/RPi efforts have been
based on an openSUSE kernel.
I have since found that Raspberry Pi is developing their own kernel,
which at once also answers some oddly unique things I've read about
the raspbian image
https://github.com/raspberrypi
So, it seems that no... it seems that openSUSE TW/ARM for RPi is not
using the same kernel and therefor almost certainly won't have the
essential kernel module I want.
Now,
I'm curious whether anyone has considered looking into grafting the
RPi kernel(with its own boot) with TW ARM Userland?
Or, for that matter similarly grafting openSUSE on to any other boot/kernels?
I might also spend a little (not much) time looking at whether the
kernel module I want can be implemented in the openSUSE ARM kernel.
The ability to run in OTG mode seems like an important capability no
matter the hardware platform (which is likely missing in a mainline
kernel).
Thx,
Tony

Starting a project using a RPi Zero, which is the $5 minimalist version of RPi, launched a few months ago in May 2016.
Because of its minimalist hardware, Setting up for development is a fairly unique procedure.
Unless I want to try the alternative method setting up a monitor and keyboard, Apparently the current kernel in the Raspbian image includes modules to enable a headless ethernet connection over a USB B/B cable.
This is the base article which includes the instructions to declare, then load a module called dwc2 in the boot loader. http://blog.gbaman.info/?p=791
Absent that, Maybe someone who is running a current openSUSE_TW ARM image can check whether the dwc2 module exists (although not likely loaded).
