Bug Description
When installing ubuntu or running the live edition from CD the wireless card reports as "Firmware Missing". During the installation process it will detect the card as a Wireless Network to select (odd). This could cause confusion for in-experienced computer users who won't understand what they are seeing. If you are installing on a laptop your first inclination is to use wireless so this missing feature problematic.
