Once you have managed to get a BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller to work next time you boot the computer it is possible that it will not automatically connect. You can connect again using the following procedrue:

Install rfkill
If you do not have a network manager with which you can turn WiFi off and on install Wicd
login as root
rfkill event

Now you get something like

1428653610.737023: idx 0 type 1 op 0 soft 0 hard 1

To get the WiFi to work both soft and hard need to be zero. When you have a hardware WiFi button you can use it. The soft can be stet to zero with the Networkmanager of WiCD by turning WIFi off and on.

Installing the Deal extreme (sku: 215412) Ralink RT5372 USB WiFi adapter on Debian Wheezy.
The cd is not of much help. There are 3 firmware versions on the CD, which have to be compiled, so you have to investigate which one to use.
We tried the most appropriate and ran into make install errors. A better way is to install the

firmware-ralink

package which worked for us. A pity it is not mentioned in the documentation.

After installation the output of lshw shows:

configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rt2800usb driverversion=3.2.0-4-amd64 firmware=0.29
               link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bgn
