Ubuntu 13.04 - ubiquity crash due to the wifi broadcom driver

[Emanuele Sagona]

During 13.04 Live installation (I tried UBUNTU, UBUNTU GNOME and LUBUNTU), system crash because the WiFi Broadcom driver.

It happen when system try to install and configure bcmwl-kernel-source, so I can't finish to install system successfully.

I tried by minimal installation (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso): installed ubuntu-desktop and everything ok, but after reboot I tried to install WiFi Broadcom driver and system crash again and it become instable, for example it can't turn off.

Any fix released?

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS also crashes during installation on systems with Broadcom Wireless hardware if I check "Install this third-party software" in the Installer (Ubiquity)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
