Have you installed the "firmware-b43-installer" package?

Weird, you rebooted and still no wifi. No wifi during the live session neither then? Found the other thread, but can not see that it contains anything of interest for you.  :-\

solved with #b43 & #ssb in /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-dkms.conf# wl module from Broadcom conflicts with the following modules:
#blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist b44
blacklist bcma
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmsmac
#blacklist ssb

Is it all right?
