kernel log entries in attached syslog don't show any PCI devices which
match the modaliases for the most recent bcmwl package (which is
superseded now by broadcom-sta but has the same modaliases list).
Did you find bcmwl was installed on this hardware in previous releases?

Title:
Failed to install bcmwl wireless driver during the install
Status in broadcom-sta package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
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

error -2
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
