Bug Description

Disco daily Lubuntu 09.02.2019 and Disco daily Kubuntu 10.02.2019

BCM 43142 drivers not installed resulting in no WiFi during and after installation.

I was able to attach ethernet cable and use the command line "ubuntu-drivers" command to install the drivers and all worked well after that.

Of course if running a machine with no ethernet then this is a huge problem for the user.

I would like to add that this is a major problem for anyone running a machine with no ethernet attached.Upon install of the OS the Lubuntu installer states " This computer does not satisfy some of the recommended requirements for installing Lubuntu 19.04 ...." "the system is not connected to the internet."
For obvious reasons a machine that cannot connect to the internet is useless.

I am aware that this is not a problem of the network manager but feel strongly that the drivers should be included in the installation media.
