Comments/Problems:
The installer fails to detect either network card. I was not expecting
it to detect the Ethernet at this time but it should detect the
wireless. On packages.debian.org I can see that 3.2.0-4-amd64 is
supposed to include the rtlwifi/rtl8192ce modules but the installer
does not have those modules. A Grml 201204 livecd has working wifi so
I know the wifi works under linux.
Additionally the laptop has UEFI but when set to boot using UEFI mode,
there is a text message about starting Grub and then the graphics
become corrupt and unreadable in the Grub menu and the continues to be
unreadable in the graphical installer. All livecds tested have been
booted with UEFI boot disabled because they did not include UEFI
support.
