Title:
  "Error occurred while copying the network settings" on bcmwl machine

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I just did a test install of the oneiric final candiate (i386) on a
  Dell Mini 10v with a Broadcom wifi. The firmware for this was built
  and installed fully automagically by ubiquity at start, and I picked
  my wlan from the wifi page. This worked fine, it downloaded packages,
  etc.

  However, right before the end of the installation I got an error
  dialog:

    An error occurred while copying the network settings.  The
  installation will continue, but the network configuration will have to
  be set up again in the installed system.

  This indeed was non-fatal to the installation, but looks bad.
