Finally, have a Broadcom wireless connection in Devuan
Searching led me to "devuan forums wireless", and to "Installing
Broadcom Wireless Drivers".
The page
      https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers
points out how to find the driver package needed, in my case
bcmwl-kernel-source.  Downloaded the file from pkgs.org and installed
with gdebi-gtk.  After that, iwconfig showed wlan0, and I was able to
connect.
Hope this helps anyone having trouble connecting in Devuan.
