Public bug reported:
[Wishlist] technically you could say this is a wish list, but it's
closer to a necessity. I need to be able to run server level software
off Raspberry pi or laptop running and Ubuntu server image. These
devices need to be placed in areas of the house that are difficult to
get to (attic, eves,etc), so Wi-Fi is much preferred to running wires.
However it is damn near impossible by current tools provided to get Wi-
Fi working properly, much less picking specific bands and ensuring that
it comes back up after every reboot.
The difficulty is going to start turning away a lot of hobbyists who are
moving from using things like raspberry pi OS to more advanced systems
like Ubuntu server. It would be a shame if they gave up in the middle
because the project requires Wi-Fi and they can't get Wi-Fi to work on
the server image. While it's understandable that you might point to the
desktop image as a workaround, that's not a good solution as we all know
don't install it if you don't need it, and that's especially true for
security devices around the house. Ubuntu server properly hardened would
be a far better tool, but you have to be able to configure it from the
command line more easily.
Not just trying to spam you here, I really care about this issue and I
think others do too.
