[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.8.6

ubiquity (2.8.6) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Don't crash if the user selects the wireless card header and presses
    next (LP: #838048).
  * If the user selects a wireless card header, the next button text
    should not be 'Connect.'
  * Don't copy the wireless configuration if this is an OEM install
    (LP: #870177).
  * Make sure the connecting spinner goes away before leaving the
    wireless page.
  * Account for the 'asleep' network-manager state.
