Ok, after playing with the machine it seems the issue is the driver is
there and available, but not marked for autoinstall.  Basically we have
subbed in b43/brcmsmac for bcmwl by default.  This generally means you
need linux-firmware-nonfree installed.  Unfortuantly the bcmwl driver is
on the image, but l-f-nonfree is not; and you have no way to get it.
