I actually got the wi-fi working on the Ubuntu 13.10 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.

Bug description:
  Today, after applying updates suggested by Ubuntu's Update Manager, my
  Wireless Card stopped working.

  I determined my wireless card with the following command:
  lspci | grep -i wireless
  04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless

  I determined my kernel with the following command:
  uname -a
  Linux  3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:26:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Why did this kernel update cause my wireless card to stop working?
