Title:
  installer chooses wrong wireless driver

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On my Compaq v6310us, with:
  03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
  the installer (and the live dvd) chooses the "Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver" which does not work.
  The proper driver is "B43-fwcutter".
  (The Fedora installer chooses the proper driver.)
