So i used this iso to test.

At first i saw such device reported for wifi connections:

Wireless (Wi-Fi)
Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n

Clicking on it prompted to install wl stuff. So no luck at first.

Then i checked dmesg and saw that b43 was loaded.

I ran rmmod on these modules: b43, brcmsmac, bcma

After that i blacklisted b43 in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mga.conf and reloaded 
bcma.

Now i saw new interface wlan0 and i was able to configure it. But connection 
test failed.

I think it failed because wpa_supplicant was in bad mood. As i couldn't restart 
LiveCD i
just ran "service network restart". After that my laptop connected 
automatically and network
was usable.

So if wrong modules are blocked and correct ones loaded then everything seems 
to work.

Output of lspcidrake -v:
wl : Broadcom Corporation|BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n [NETWORK_OTHER] (vendor:14e4 
device:4353
subv:1028 subd:000e) (rev: 01)
