[Bug 1406835] [NEW] LiveCD 14.10 - WiFi does not work until I will launch "Install Ubuntu" and skip a few steps (Macbook Pro 8.2)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

My computer is Macbook Pro 8,2 (15" early 2011) , although this problem
could probably be witnessed at some other models as well.

First of all (as I said in my first bug report) I could boot only with
nomodeset option -- otherwise I will be stuck at "i8042: no controller
found" message

After booting 14.10 LiveCD, WiFi is not working and wireless networks
are not available. However, if I will launch "Install Ubuntu" and get to
"Installation Type" step -- right after "preparing to install ubuntu"
step -- those wireless networks will "magically" appear ... (and then I
could Quit the setup, and WiFi will be still working) . I've double
checked - and that is not a coincidence

Those WiFi drivers have to be initialized during the boot process -
otherwise it harms user experience (and also plenty of those users, who
don't want to install ubuntu right now, will not guess that they would
need to launch setup & skip a few steps in order to get the WiFi
working)

I have attached two files to this bug report:
1) Full dmesg log
2) Small part of dmesg log which appears instantly after I get to "Installation Type" step

P.S. Notice that there are many other errors & warning during the
booting process as well. Probably because it is a first Ubuntu release
which does not have a separate ISO for Macs like before
