[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.771

---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.771) kinetic; urgency=medium

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Drop support for building i386 images aside from the launchpad builder
    images.
  * Remove fwupd from the cloud images.  LP: #1981109.

  [ Michael Hudson-Doyle ]
  * Fix some issues with the netboot tarballs:
    - Include the signed shim (oops).
    - Make the kernel path on disk and in the bootloader config match (more
      oops).
    - Make paths more architecture dependent as the code in grubnetXXX.efi to
      probe a platform dependent path first doesn't work.

  [ Alexandre Ghiti ]
  * Install wpasupplicant by default as for now, most of the RISC-V boards
    embed a Wifi chipset (LP: #1983008)

  Install wpasupplicant by default on RISC-V images

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Most of RISC-V boards come with a Wifi chipset and some (like the
  licheeRV) don't even have an ethernet port. To ease user's life, we
  should install wpasupplicant by default so they can use the Wifi.

  [Test Plan]

  Build a VisionFive image (which is the only one that supports the Wifi
  for now) and at first boot, try to configure the Wifi using netplan.

  Also, check if our raspi images are still building correctly with the
  same set of pre-installed packages.

  [Where problems could occur]

  There is always the risk to break the image for other architectures,
  and other RISC-V boards. Checking if raspi builds are still fine
  should be done as part of the validation.
