Comment 0 for bug 965116

When trying to install 12.04 Precise on an HP 8440p with the Desktop alternate CD in order to install with full LVM encryption, the kernel does not enable the Wifi NIC, hence installation is impossible.

When using the standard desktop image (using Ubiquity), the Wireless NIC is seen correctly. Here are output of lsmod and lspci -nnk when booted using the standard desktop :
