[Launchpad Bug Tracker <29566@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

On AMD64 using daily dapper 20050124.

During the install the installer offers to configure the bcm43xx device
on my laptop, but the search for wireless networks fails to find any
networks. The message simply says no networks could be found, but
investigation shows that the firmware for the device could not be
loaded, because it is not available.

Ideally the firmware should be included, but that is probably imposable
because of licensing so the bcm43xx device should probably not be listed
as a usable network device during the install. Just my $.02
