Public bug reported:

Installed 12.10 on an HP Touchsmart TM2 with a fresh install from a USB
key, AMD64 with wifi access, with installation updates permitted. This
gave a fully working laptop on kernel 3.5.0-17. Running the post-
installation software-update loaded 3.5.0-21 by default after reboot and
the wifi hardware failed to be detected (Broadcom 43225).

Rebooting back into 3.5.0-17 with no other changes and all worked
perfectly again (bug report attachments were made with this version but
running 'ubuntu-bug linux-image-3.5.0-21-generic').

This is not my laptop, so I will not be able to test any other kernels
after 5 Jan 2013.
