Hiyas,

it seems that b43 is not being installed. I've had it reported that it
works fine in LiveCD mode (where we can see b43 there to be ;oaded) but not
the actual installations. I'm waiting to have chat the person who looks
after what does get installed to ask if this was an oversight which can
easily be rectified. In the meantime, if you plugin via ethernet, checking
for hard-ware drivers should prompt you to install the b43 ones.

Regards,

Phill.
