I preseed this in a file with
d-i netcfg/target_network_config select ifupdown
The same outcome should be possible with an installer boot parameter:
netcfg/target_network_config=ifupdown
should do it (I think).
The wired network could be added after booting into the new system;
unless you want to do it by preseeding a late_command.
