Hardware: Inspiron N5050
From Ubuntu 13.10, "lspci" relevant output:
Code:
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 05)
09:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
I can successfully boot and connect to WiFi if I use either of the "Live" options. After booting to Live, I emailed the output of "dmesg" to myself; it's linked here:

Booting the text-based installer seems to kernel panic:

Booting the graphical installer doesn't actually crash, but hangs with this on one of the TTYs (accessed by pressing "Control + Alt + F[x]" keys).

There are a couple other threads that seem to be relevant/the same issue; neither one seems to have a fix, though:

Any ideas would be appreciated. As a work-around, I'm going to try and install it "live" but with persistence, to my SSD. I'll report back either way, when I'm done with that.
