Thanks for the clarification, Andreas.
Sorry if I wasted your time, Freek.

Last year I was able to enable WiFi on my RPi3. The problem at that

the unavailable firmware files. These files are now available in

however I can't find how to load these files in order to have a wlan0
device.
I found a script /usr/sbin/install-brcmfmac, but I can't find how and
where
this script is called. It puts a symbolic link is some folder, but what
folder?
I think this *might* work for you.

It won't, that link is about Leap.
I finally gave up on Tumbleweed as being too unstable (WiFi, USB
booting, etc),
and went to Leap 42.2 as my primary SUSE system. But the technique
outlined
in that link has proven useful in the past.
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
