Almost certainly a conflict with the native b43 driver. During installation, don't select the option to "Download Updates while installing". This will prevent the bcmwl-kernel-source package (plus other proprietary drivers, if they are required) from being downloaded and installed. Note that this will also cause the firmware to not download, which you can install later when the installation is finished.
To install the required firmware, if you have a wired or other type of connection available -
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
If you don't have internet available on that system, then manually download the same above package from here, copy it to your desktop, and double-click to install.
At any point, never try to install the proprietary driver "bcmwl-kernel-source" for 4318 card, it is not the correct driver for it. If you can, just disable the prompt for installing it.
