marshmnhi; setting up a laptop which has no physical ethernet and the WiFi card doesn't seem to get picked up by default (I guess it needs some proprietary driver)18:40
marshmnam I best trying to get the WiFi working whilst in the 'live' USB boot - or should I just install first without network and worry about sorting the WiFi after?18:40
marshmn(if it matters either way)18:41
dauberslo18:46
penguin42marshmn: Any idea what the wifi is ?  lspci should tell you some18:47
marshmnactually, don't worry about it... I managed to find a USB network adapter lying around...18:47
marshmnthat probably makes things easier :)18:47
penguin42ah good, which ubuntu are you installing that it didn't find the wifi?18:47
marshmn15.04 64 bit18:48
marshmnjust running off the live USB right now18:48
marshmnWiFi looks to be "Broadcom Corporation BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)"18:49
penguin42yeuch18:49
marshmn:(18:50
penguin42I seem to remember there's a firmware thing, but I'm surprised 15.04 didn't have it18:50
marshmnwhen I go to the 'Additional Drivers' section in system settings, it lists the device but just says 'this device is not working'18:52
marshmnI can install from the USB device for now18:52
marshmnwill need to figure out how to solve that at some point18:52
penguin42marshmn: If you're incredibly lucky an update will get pulled in that will fix it, but dont bet on it18:53
marshmnah, now I was able to activate it in the additional drivers in the end18:54
marshmnlooks to be working now18:54
marshmnat first I didn't see that there were options below if I scrolled18:54
marshmnsince it's crazy small scroll bar on silly hidpi display18:55
marshmnok, all working on WiFi now18:59
marshmnmany thanks18:59
marshmnnow to try and understand what the hell all these 8 partitions are that the machine came with configured...19:00
marshmnpenguin42: so, just FYI, the WiFi driver was included on the 15.04 live USB - it just didn't get activated by default19:14
penguin42marshmn: Can you see if there's already a bug filed for that - if not there should be one19:15
