Bug Description
I was installing Xubuntu 14.04. It said 'Configuring bcmwl-kernel-source amd64)' and in the details "DKMS: install completed." and it just froze there. To continue installation I had to open up a terminal and execute 'sudo killall -9 modprobe' due to the wl module being installed when it doesn't support my 4306 card. I had to add it to the module blacklist.
WORKAROUND: During the installation, do not select "Install third party software".
