Bug Description
Hi,
I am trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 through my pxe server with the regular ubuntu netboot release. While this works on some of my machines, I experienced another problem.
When booting an Acer Aspire One 756 (Broadcom BCM4313 802.11bgn WLAN adapter), the installation process hangs in a very early state, right after detecting the keyboard type.
The machine is still running, you can login through a second console. The problem is that it hangs within
udpkg --configure --force-configure ethdetect
/bin/sh /bin/ethdetect
/bin/sh /bin/check-
ip link set p2p1 up
or similiar with wlan0 instead of p2p1. The ip link command can't even be killed with kill -9
So it's definitely that ethdetect hangs wich this particular wlan chip.
Didn't find a workaround yet.
btw., dmesg says
ieee80211 phy0: brcmsmac: fail to load firmware brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw
