Hi,

I am trying to install Ubuntu 13.10  amd64 through my pxe server with
the regular ubuntu netboot release. While this works on some of my
machines, I experienced another problem.

When booting an Acer Aspire One 756 (Broadcom BCM4313 802.11bgn WLAN
adapter), the installation process hangs in a very early state, right
after detecting the keyboard type.

The machine is still running, you can login through a second console.
The problem is that it hangs within

udpkg --configure --force-configure ethdetect
/bin/sh /bin/ethdetect
/bin/sh /bin/check-missing-firmware p2p1 wlan0
ip link set p2p1 up

or similiar with wlan0 instead of p2p1.  The ip link command can't even
be killed with kill -9

So it's definitely that ethdetect hangs wich this particular wlan chip.


Didn't find a workaround yet.
