Bug Description
I am uncertain if this is a new bug as I am not sure how to describe what has happened. I was doing a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 and suddenly got an error message indicating there was a problem in or with "bcmwl", whatever that is.
It has caused my laptop to become non respondant and I had to restart it, but as it only has half an operating system it won't work so I have gone back to Windows as I urgently need the laptop to do my university work.
I may try Ubuntu again at some future date, but it won't be until such a time as I can afford to have a laptop non-functional while I try to resolve very annoying issues.
Regards
