[Solved] No ethernet nor wifi on ASUS 1015E

EDIT: Both the ethernet and wifi problems went away with the upgrade to Porteus 3! Many thanks to the awesome development team!
Hi there,
Really liking what I've seen of Porteus so far. However, I can't get networking (ethernet or wifi) going on my ASUS 1015E laptop (it's a relatively new model; came out a few months back). No networks are recognized and there's a permanent red x on the network icon in XFCE.
I've tried the blacklist trick for wifi in /mnt/sdc1/porteus/rootcopy/etc/modprobe.d/b43_blacklist.conf to no avail. All it seems to do is remove the XFCE network icon.
lspci tells me the following:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8162 Fast Ethernet (rev 10)
dmesg gives me the "taints kernel" regarding wl.
CrunchBang, Puppy and other distros recognize the ethernet right away and wifi with some help. Also, Proteus ethernet (same flash drive) works fine on some of my other machines, including another (very old) ASUS laptop.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks!
