Title:
  Crashes on Ubuntu 12.04.1 installation -
  /usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 1728, in <module>

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  (note ubiquity is the package ubuntu selected for me)

  Some action in the Ubuntu installer made it crash during installation.
  It appeared to me to be during the step where the installer said
  something about detecting connected hardware.

  I am not sure I can provide much more information.

  Looking at the log file, it looks like it crashed right after
  attempting to install the wireless card(s). I have two plugged in (for
  no good reason), one is a broadcom (it loaded the Broadcom 43xx
  driver) and the other is a netgear WG111v3 USB wireless adapter.
  Ubuntu was connected on the netgear and the broadcom didn't seem to be
  functioning.
