Bug Description

I'm not sure of the firmware policy, so I can add more detail or close it depending on the answer.

In short, I installed 20.04 on an old repurposed iMac with Broadcom 4322 wifi. Everything went well, but no network access. Dmesg said "firmware not found."

I went thru a hell of a time to figure out what to do, find the firmware on another computer, and sneaker-net it over.

Not sure if this is a common enough occurrence to put it on the install disc like the nvidia stuff, thought I'd ask.
