[Bug 872119] [NEW] "Error occurred while copying the network settings" on bcmwl machine

[Martin Pitt]

Public bug reported:

I just did a test install of the oneiric final candiate (i386) on a Dell
Mini 10v with a Broadcom wifi. The firmware for this was built and
installed fully automagically by ubiquity at start, and I picked my wlan
from the wifi page. This worked fine, it downloaded packages, etc.

However, right before the end of the installation I got an error dialog:

  An error occurred while copying the network settings.  The
installation will continue, but the network configuration will have to
be set up again in the installed system.

This indeed was non-fatal to the installation, but looks bad.
