Hello!
Yes, this primarily affects Broadcom adapters, because they require firmware to be installed to operate at startup. These firmware drivers are proprietary, so legally, they cannot be distributed as part of a LiveCD.
Over the years, Broadcom has used many different chipsets and several firmware drivers, so one has to know exactly which model of chipset they have to install the correct driver. This has been fairly well documented here, and is even more well documented on the Web.
If you try to solve this issue and get stumped in the process, PM me, and I'll help you figure it out...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
