Bug Description
Software:
In multiple pre-releases of Ubuntu 12.04 alpha / beta, i686 or amd64 edition, the system will freeze/hang during boot.
When booting without the following kernel parameters "quit & splash" you see as the last message that the firmware of the broadcom wifi adapter is not available at that moment it already freezes.
I suspect that it has to do with network initialization of the desktop environment since the system boots and installs fine with the alternate installer of the 12.04 series, than after a minimal/core install I must install the package "firmware-
Previous versions of Ubuntu back to 10.04 just worked fine!
Hardware:
Asus p5kwifi e wifi/ap
PCI Asus wl138v2
