Comment (by 6foot3):
I recently acquired a Dell Latitude E6430 laptop that has a bcm43228 wifi
adapter installed. An Ubuntu linux live session (18.04 LTS) cannot access
the adapter but the installation appears to install the firmware since the
wifi works once the installed version is booted. The output from lspci
lists the wifi adapter as bcm43228. I do not have access to wired internet
so I tried the offline install as outlined in the Wireless Networking
Workshop page. The install-wifi-firmwares.sh script is still not seeing
the files that have been extracted from the file downloaded by the script
at the following link: https://www.haiku-os.org/files/download-data-for-
wlan-firmwares.txt . Is any further thought being given to this?
