It seems there are a number of patches available for the cubox-i http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/hummingboard-cubox-i-v4.1-rc1-20150606/ and there is also one for wifi/bluetooth included http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/hummingboard-cubox-i-v4.1-rc1-20150606/0005-ARM-dts-cubox-i-add-support-for-Broadcom-Wifi-Blueto.patch[1] So this means probably there is no chance running wifi with the Debian kernel (?).
