Comment 10 for bug 1006179

This issue still affects 18.04.1. As soon as you try to install with an unsupported wireless chipset, the chipset name is listed as a wireless network to connect to (and attempting to connect to it obviously fails, though without message).

What should instead happen is that a message is displayed indicating that this wireless chipset is not (or may not be) supported. The system I tried this on is a GPD Pocket (v1) which comes with a Broadcom 4356 802.11ac chipset. Wired network was not available at the time.
