Bug Description
I just did a test install of the oneiric final candiate (i386) on a Dell Mini 10v with a Broadcom wifi. The firmware for this was built and installed fully automagically by ubiquity at start, and I picked my wlan from the wifi page. This worked fine, it downloaded packages, etc.
However, right before the end of the installation I got an error dialog:
An error occurred while copying the network settings. The installation will continue, but the network configuration will have to be set up again in the installed system.
This indeed was non-fatal to the installation, but looks bad.

After booting the installed system, the bcmwl driver is still installed and functional, I just need to pick my wifi again and enter the password.
