I tested once again:
Step-1:
fresh NetworkInstall Leap42.3 + zypper up + reboot

Step2

Step-4:
Apply this. “Install package home:dmolkentin:dracut:devel:git / dracut”
+Reboot - DIDN`t HELP ! ;(

After this i do: Seps again:
Step1, Step2, Step3
Step4 ( new) this: "Broadcom firmware is needed for b43, but I have no network - an easierwork around

"
Reboot,
and DIDN`t HELP ;(

rmmod b43
modprobe b43
And have this error:
