Specifically for Lunar - using a Macbook Air 2012, its wireless driver was not enabled even though I ticked the wireless tickbox on the installer.

A quick look at the installer logs reveals various issues

I will attach the installer logs manually since this was captured after the installation

Note - on 20.04.6, 22.04.2 and 22.10 with the same laptop bcmwl was installed correctly during the install so this is a regression with the 6.2 kernel
