You have been subscribed to a public bug:
in ubuntu 15.10 and lubuntu 15.10
i have a b4318 wireless chipset which does not work out of the box, even
though the b43-fwcutter package is included in the release, the
firmware-b43-installer and the legacy package are not included, which
from my understanding are needed by b43-fwcutter to actualy install the
correct firmware.
the result is an error while booting up saying couldnt load kernel
module or something, telling you to go to a website (wireless.kernel or
something similar) and download the correct driver for your firmware,
which is misleading, as all you need is the firmware-b43-installer or
legacy package to make the wireless work.
Including this in the official releases would be great, and/or changing
the error message to suggest installing those packages
