But to help less advanced users and more smooth installer experience we did a change. So how it works now? It tries at the beginning of installation dhcp on all network interfaces and if it get configuration for any card, then it will skip the network configuration screen. But if dhcp does not succeed, it will show that screen. You can try it yourself in VM, if you configure it to not get DHCP or by simple removing all network interfaces. We believe that this new way satisfy majority of users as dhcp is now preferred way and if no dhcp is available you can configure it. So only users that have more complicated way is the ones that have dhcp, but want manual configuration. These users need to configure it after installation. I hope this answers your question.
