About The Project:
Trying to bring newer versions of Ubuntu to the Wii has been a project of mine for a while. Many trial and errors. This versions actually build somewhat off of Wii-Linux-NGX But this version uses the same bootloader with a different kernel, a newer one. And it also boots Ubuntu 13 instead of Debian 8.

You have 2 Kernels to choose from via Gumboot. More info in "How To Boot" section of the GitHub page.

 

Wi-Fi Config:

Previous Unstable version of Ubuntu 14 for the Wii I released has a Wi-Fi Bug with the b43 Driver. This version DOES NOT have that bug. Wi-Fi Works.

Its as simple as using the "whiite-ez-wifi-config" file located in "/home/ubuntu" and setting up for Wi-Fi!

If that doesn't work please use the command "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces" and add the ssid and passkey yourself.
