It won't, that link is about Leap.

Wifi is not "unstable" in Tumbleweed, it was never available on RPi3.
The necessary SDIO drivers just barely made it into 4.12-rcX, and
Tumbleweed still has 4.11.

To me it looked like the new 4.12 driver was misnamed just "bcm2835", so
it may require further changes to dracut configs. Or even better someone
should send a patch to rename it upstream.

Andreas
