debug information

In the live media environment my network card (BCM4360) isnt loaded. running "iw dev" doesnt return anything. I was able to fix this by going through the installation using usb tethering. And after installing i used broadcom-sta instead. This may be the issue thats causing this "[   27.472556] b43: probe of bcma0:1 failed with error -95"

there is some debug information from the command "dmesg && lspci -k && lsusb" in attachment

This has been confirmed in both the minimal and livegui after discussing in Discord.
