(adding to BTS so it doesn't get dropped.)
I recently installed on a friend's network, which had a WEP key with a
space in it. The installer worked, but it wrote a
/etc/network/interfaces file that didn't work. After boot, the key was
set to the substring up to and not including the space in the WEP key.
I _think_ that a backslash before the space solved the problem, but I'm
not certain.
I don't know if there's a more general problem to be solved or whether
the patch below even compiles. It's a proof of concept patch, more than
anything else.
Nice work, BTW. The installer is beautiful.

Pardon the unsigned e-mail -- I was installing because of a disc crash,
and I haven't fully restored yet.

* Joshua Kwan
- mii-diag support is back, but once again, as a function. Hopefully
it works better than the old one. This time, it only chooses a
default interface based on the first connected one it finds. It also
prefers ethtool to MII.
- Also add a rudimentary wireless link detection heuristic to go with
the new ethtool support.
- Apply Andrew Pollock's WEP key patch. Thanks!
* Thomas Hood
- Use "wireless-key1" option in /e/n/i rather than "wireless-key"
since the former allows the key string to contain whitespace
whereas the latter does not. (Closes: #271978)
