i installed bionic via mini.iso.  worked except it failed to do dhcp
<http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1748409>, so i gave it a static
address, and no surprise what it installed uses the same static ip
address.  same issue on desktop and laptop.  for the desktop i expect i can
just populate /etc/network/interfaces and uninstall NetworkManager.  i
don't think that's a good solution for the lappy tho.  can anybody point me
to a guide to fix/complete the laptop configuration?  i think ssb is the
broadcom wifi driver module, when running bionic it's already listed in
lsmod but only eth0 shows up in the network applet or /sys/class/net, when
running trusty the lappy wifi works, APs are listed and it connects to my
modem just fine, seems likely i can just copy some missing bit of
configuration from the trusty install, but what?
