Bug Description

On a hp pavilion dv6 1230 I was using a usb wireless key to access an old ralink wireless G card isntead of the internal broadcom to try and not connect via ethernet and then download broadcom drivers later. I then got ubiquity to crash when not connected so I ran over to where I had an ethernet cable plugged in and lugged this in to report the bug.

I expected to be able to connect via the one working wireless nic like I have done before on this laptop and install with network instead of ubiquity crashing.

I can only reproduce this particular laptop and this bug does not occur if I plug into ethernet on the same laptop.

This crash could be due to the wifi card begin discovered but disabled because the driver is not loaded.

2. Have a laptop with broadcom wifi
3. Have a usb wifi stick
4. Insert the usb wifi stick and pendrive, fire up the laptop and boot from usb
5. Select live desktop mode
6. Try and connect to the wifi ap via the usb wifi chip
