Thank you for helpful explanations. Following your instructions I did:
mkdir -p /mnt/sdb1/porteus/rootcopy/etc/modprobe.d
echo "blacklist iwlagn" > /mnt/sdb1/porteus/rootcopy/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_iwlagn.conf
After reboot in always fresh mode Acer's wifi-led was still on.
I made sure that /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_iwlagn.conf exists
and started pns-tool that behaved as follows:
Code: Select all
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

}
Finally I connected to 1999 by wicd.
In order to test the latest kernel firmware I moved kernel-firmware-20120202git-noarch-1.xzm to modules folder
of Porteus-v1.0 and tried to reboot. Afer the message: 'triggering udev events', wifi-led was off definitely.
Despite this, I started pns-tool and noted a significant difference: eth1 was not offered any more, only wlan0.
As expected, the trial ended with failure:

I think that BCM4313 does not work, but considering my poor knowledge of its functions
I run dmesg, lspci -k and lsmod :
