Title:
  Ubuntu 15.04 - Macbook Pro Early 2015 (12,1) no 5 GHz wireless

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Fresh install of 15.04 on a Macbook Pro 12,1.

  >Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43602 802.11ac
  Wireless LAN SoC [14e4:43ba] (rev 01)

  I copied brcmfmac43602-pcie.bin
  (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-
  firmware.git/plain/brcm/) into /lib/firmware/brcm which enabled the
  wireless to pick up some SSIDs, but not all (almost positive the only
  ones seen are 2.4GHz).

  I was referred to this document:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx

  Then I ran:

  $ lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network

  I find the PCI device ID here:
  https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211#brcmfmac
  (Chipset BCM43602, ID: 14e4:43ba)

  I dropped the relevant firmware files from the repo given a bit
  further down that page (repo:
  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-
  firmware.git/tree/brcm) into /lib/firmware/brcm/

  ...still no 5 GHz.
