I actually got the wi-fi working on the live CD. Here's how:

Ubuntu Software Center > Edit Menu > Software Sources > Ubuntu Software
> Check all boxes then hit the "close" button.

After this I closed Ubuntu Software Center.

Then, I opened a terminal and entered:
sudo apt-get update

Last, I open Ubuntu Software Center again and typed "broadcom" (no
quotes) into the search box. This found the following two packages:

bcmwl-kernel-source
b43-fwcutter

After installing these packages I was able to use wi-fi on the Ubuntu
13.10 Live CD. I didn't even need to do a modprobe command.
