@logick
i see some confusion here.
according to your log files i reckon that Asus notebook has "Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000" (supported by iwlagn driver) while Acer has "Broadcom Corporation BCM4313" (supported by brcm80211 driver).
question: why are you blacklisting iwlagn driver on Acer notebook?
please do it on Asus instead.
second thing:
as per http://pastebin.com/EdFnPyF1 i see that you were testing new kernel-firmware on Acer while broadcom-sta-xxx.xzm module was still activated during boot.
please remove that module, boot into always fresh with base module + kernel-firmware only.
please make sure you are doing this test on porteus-1.1 (with updated 3.2.4 kernel) and not porteus-1.0
good luck
Posted after 4 hours 26 minutes 13 seconds:
Porteus-1.2-rc1 is out and contains broadcom-sta included by default. Intel firmware is also updated to latest version so please try it on both notebooks and tell me that everything works out of the box
cheers
WiFi on Porteus -v1.1-x86_64

Thank you for Porteus-1.2-rc1!
On Acer wifi works out of the box indeed, exactly as you expected.
Wifi on Acers is more important for me because often I take it on
a journey - it is small.
On Asus, however, pns-tool ended with the same failure: http://pastebin.com/QLpzk47n
I enclose also output of dmesg etc.: http://pastebin.com/bmFx84yR
Asus is big and heavy and it can be kept on wire for some time.
Congratulations !

That's good news for broadcom users!! Glad you have it sorted, looks like i will have to add it back to 32bit for next release too.
How do i become super user?
