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)
