In the cosmic live session: $ ubuntu-drivers list bcmwl-kernel-source
And yes you're right - the driver is in the ISO, but under /cdrom/pool... For some reason I thought any restricted drivers available in the ISO would be active before the installer started. So choosing "Restricted Add-ons" while I had no wifi would be pointless. But it's not. I think this behaviour has changed compared to older releases. So this bug is invalid in the original form. I will reword it into something that's a real bug. Thanks :) ** Summary changed: - [regression] Cosmic ISO contains no working wifi driver for Macbook Air + Macbook Air wifi driver (bcmwl-kernel-source) is not active in a live session till you run the installer ** Description changed: - Cosmic ISO (20181004) contains no working wifi driver for Macbook Air. - - In previous releases it contained package bcmwl-kernel-source for the - 'wl' kernel module but not any more. Is that intentional? + Macbook Air wifi driver (bcmwl-kernel-source) is not active (installed) + in a live session till you run the installer (AND choose restricted + addons). ** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796544 Title: Macbook Air wifi driver (bcmwl-kernel-source) is not active in a live session till you run the installer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/1796544/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
