Bug Description

Whether I install the broadcom driver through software sources or I connect to the Internet while installing and use ubiquity I get a crash where all I understand is that wpa_suplicant and wl (broadcom driver) is used when I run into the issue. Attached is the screen I get when this happens.

Tested using 13.04 Daily (20121220)

Likely a dup of bug 1089114?

Looks similar indeed, however that bug has:
wl_cfg80211_scan+0x43/0x380

And my screenshot has:
wl_cfg80211_scan+0x2da/0x340

Don't know if this makes much difference.
