This may not be directly related to others, but:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43%20-%20Internet%20access says: 
LiveCD/LiveUSB

Step 3.

For temporary use with the LiveCD and LiveUSB environments, instead of a
computer restart, in a terminal issue the following commands:

~$ sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb
~$ sudo modprobe b43

Note: Allow several seconds for the network manager to scan for
available networks before attempting a connection.

Title:
  Wrong "Reboot Required" for kmod:wl on livecd

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Enabling the wireless module for this laptop's wireless device with
  jockey-gtk's list of applications displays a "reboot required" which
  just isn't possible on the livecd I was running (amd64 Karmic). Using
  jockey-text seemed to bypass the "reboot required" messages if I
  recall correctly, certainly it worked just fine without rebooting.

  Thanks,

       Drew Daniels
