Title:
Precise non-pae mini.iso is missing b43 wireless module.
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
My Pentium M doesn't support PAE, so my only install option for
Precise is the non-pae mini.iso. Unfortunately this network-based
install media does not include the b43 wireless kernel module for
Broadcom wireless cards (and I mean the file /lib/modules/$(uname
-r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko which can be loaded via
'modprobe b43', not the proprietary firmware which must be installed
via firmware-b43-installer package).
This makes it impossible for me to get a wireless connection on the
mini.iso, which is essential since the installation is over a network.
Since the mini.iso is the only way to install Ubuntu Precise on a non-
pae computer, this therefore makes it impossible for me to install
Ubuntu onto my computer.
