Title:
  12.10 installer crashes while downloading packages if network goes
  down - /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/install_misc.py", line 276, in pulse

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  towards the end of the of the install, the last set of packages start to download and in the case of network failure, the installer is unable to recover (let alone retry) and eventually crashes.
  also, during sending of crash report, the password too is included, this is scary.
