Comment 0 for bug 1825286

Whereas ubiquity has a way to install third-party proprietary drivers, such as for Broadcom wireless chips or NVIDIA graphics, Calamares does not. As it stands, Calamares offers no warning about this, leaving installs in potential unusable states without additional packages being installed. Graphics issues can most likely be circumvented with virtual terminals but the process of dealing with a wireless chip is much more difficult, unless ethernet is readily available.

Solving this will likely require a new Calamares module to be created to deal specifically with this. Whether or not it would have any value to other distros is a question, so we lump this with the more unique package calamares-settings-ubuntu which also includes our unique automirror module.
