[Bug 1302206] [NEW] wifi configured and working in debian-installer, but not after installation at first boot

[Dustin Kirkland ]

Public bug reported:

I just installed using the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server installation.  On
this "server", the wifi interface should be the primary network
interface.  I was surprised and pleased that wireless networking "just
worked" in the installer, conveniently prompting me for the ESSID and
WPA2 passphrase.

However, after the installation completed, and I rebooted into my new
server, wlan0 is not configured in /etc/network/interfaces, nor is
wpa_supplicant configuration anywhere to be found in /etc.

I would have expected the network configuration I selected in the
installer to have persisted.

Thanks,
Dustin
