You probably need a proprietary driver installed (I'm guessing the wireless is a Broadcom card). If your USB has a "persistence" file that allows for saving data, making permanent changes, etc., then you can install the driver to it and it will activate on subsequent reboots. If you don't have a persistence file, remake the live USB with a program that lets you do that. See here:

Boot the persistence-enabled USB, then go to Menu -> Settings -> Install Drivers. It will take a few seconds to evaluate the computer and list any available drivers. If you see one for wireless, install it and see if that works. (You may need to reboot to have it take effect -- I'm not sure.)
