Title:
  Segfault on adding WiFi for Broadcom in Lubuntu 14.04

Status in “b43-fwcutter” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  A  Dell Inspiron B130 with a Broadcom 4318 card receives a segfault on
  adding WiFi which was not detected at the 32-bit Lubuntu 14.04 LTS
  install. WiFi works flawlessly on XP and Win 8.1u1.

  I try to install the driver after a new Lubuntu 14.04 32-bit install
  (ISO passed the MD5 checksum test), and I end up with a segmentation
  fault when I try to follow the official Ubuntu instructions from
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx (which are
  for 12.04 and earlier, anyway).  See attachment to show the result.

  I then try to add using Additional Drivers in Synaptic, which fails,
  prompting me to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" which results in
  another Segmentation Fault. This has been replicated several times.

  The network connection fails until I shutdown and restart. No WiFi
  even after the shutdown/reboot.

  Then, I replace the wl package with b43cutter Version 1:018-2 which
  does not segfault, but also doesn't work when I try to connect with
  it.
