Re: Broadcom BCM4313 not detected
You may need to load proprietary drivers? can you try sudo modprobe wl? This is the broadcom-sta driver. If not see if you can install it with sudo apt-get install broadcom-wl and then modprobe wl. After this try sudo ifconfig -a.

Re: Broadcom BCM4313 not detected
sorry got a little excited answering. I have checked and tried to apt-get broadcom-wl and it appears that it is not found. i did find this on the debian wiki http://wiki.debian.org/wl#Squeeze. you will need some things like module-assistant and blacklist brcm80211. You can give it a try and see what happens.

Re: Broadcom BCM4313 not detected
Install #! and you can make it work with either b43 or wl module.

Re: Broadcom BCM4313 not detected
It seems it is not working with the live image.
You will have to install to HD to get it to work.

Re: Broadcom BCM4313 not detected
I got this to work on my netbook which is an Asus eee pc 1051x by typing this into a temrinal:
sudo apt-get install module-assistant wireless-tools firmware-brcm80211 Reboot the machine, then once its rebooted check the wireless interface is being detected by typing into a terminal:

Re: Broadcom BCM4313 not detected
a) Hi to everyone I am a new (enthusiast) user 
b) Thanks a lot for the suggestion: nuxero's package worked like a charm to enable wifi network using crunchbag on my asus 1215n
