According to Martin Pitt in bug #1298641 Ubuntu should be using the bcmwl driver rather than b43. The trusty installer at the moment is loading the b43 kernel module but failing to load the firmware (because the firmware is not on the cdimage). To use bcmwl needs to be installed and b43 blacklisted.
** Summary changed: - trusty install image no wifi: missing broadcom b43 firmware + trusty installer cdimage: no wifi (Broadcom chipset, needs bcmwl or b43) ** Package changed: linux-firmware-nonfree (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-cdimage ** Summary changed: - trusty installer cdimage: no wifi (Broadcom chipset, needs bcmwl or b43) + trusty installer: no wifi (Broadcom chipset, needs bcmwl or b43) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1298610 Title: trusty installer: no wifi (Broadcom chipset, needs bcmwl or b43) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1298610/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
