Bug Description

Hello,
I am trying to install 13.04 on an Acer Aspire 5024 laptop. Installation hangs at "Configuring bcmwl-kernel-source" and button Skip is greyed put so that I can't use it.
From dmesg output I can also see two Call trace and these two lines that could be related to the problem:

wl driver 6.20.155.1 (r326264) failed with code 21

Kernel BUG at f969b9da.

Any hints on how to proceed?

You need to run lspci and show exactly what wifi chipset your system has. Try running "apport-collect 1173206".
