It could be resolved, if the net-install installed the base system first , and then configuring the net; as it was in Sarge; in this case, one could buy an unexpensive wireless card; another thing is that apparently there are some cards that are not in need of install firmware, but can not be configured by the net-install, as rtl-8187L and ralink-rt73, because, they are not identified, and wireless-tools are useless at that moment. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
