If you have followed the above how-to and have a working OpenSUSE desktop with ethernet internet, then you can also get your USB wifi working. You need to go down to the little chameleon in the bottom left corner and click, this is the equivalent of windows start, then in system you will find install/remove software, select it, then put in the root password the default is: pine64root, then you will see many different places to find software, you will need to search the different lists of repositories, and other software to select any/all the USB related packages, wireless packages, network packages, and any other things you would want to add. You can tell what is already installed and what isn't by the checks in the boxes for the various packages, scroll down to where the checked packages stop and where the unchecked aka available, but not installed software is, and select the relevant packages, when you are finished select accept, then your new software will be downloaded and installed. Reboot with your hardware connected and your devices will be recognized. NOTE: I was using a USB hub in the top USB port on the pine, and it was able to see my wireless keyboard, mouse, and wifi dongle without issue.
