Since my pc comes with a broadcom WiFi device, the drivers aren't preinstalled
for WiFi. Hence initially I have to tether it using my android smartphone. But
that too wasn't possible in the latest beta release of openSuse 15.1, and I was
getting a message to configure network using Yast2. The Ethernet controller is
a Realtek Device.
Attaching the output of lspci.
