installer crashed due to ath5k driver BUG

[Bill Rickvalsky]

The installer never completes the installation. The copying files progress bar indicates it is approximately 80 to 90 % complete but it never completes.

It looks like there is a bug in the ath5k driver... it crashed trying to dereference a null pointer.

Can you see if this issue also happens with the latest daily image? It can be downloaded from:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

[Bill Rickvalsky (brickvalsky)]

I have not yet downloaded the latest. However the problem ceased after doing a restart of the computer. I had done a download of the latest updates for Linux and I believe there was some Firefox updates. But I did not restart after the Linux updates were installed. I went directly into Firefox. I don't know why that would cause a problem but after the restart there were no further problems.
