Please don't look at the wlan (iwlwifi), since my focus was on ethernet.
The main issue with the wlan is that setup requests 2 file, that don't
exist anymore (iwlwifi-1000-1.ucode and iwlwifi-1000-2.ucode), even
on http://intellinuxwireless.org/.
As long as netinstall won't support WPA, I won't be able to use it.
What do you mean with "images with firmware included"? There is only
one netinstall not providing non-free firmware.
Bye,
Armin
