Firmware doesn't include the firmware for the USB devices and such? Perhaps I identified the wrong thing, but the only thing I recall getting installed last night was linux-firmware.
And I am NOT going to reinstall that piece of shit because I can't even get online with it installed and I only have one box. Are you freakin' nuts? Who in their right mind re-installs BROKEN software after spending SEVEN HOURS recovering from it?

USB devices stop being recognized and the network card/chipset cease functioning, preventing you from getting online. I've had to reinstall Ubuntu 15.04 in order to get back to a working state, and will no longer consider upgrading to 15.10 again until I am forced to do so by the 15.04 EOL.
