Comments/Problems:
I tried to do a net-install using 802.11b.
My institution does not use WEP, but does use an SSID.
This causes a problem, because the installer asks for the WEP key,
then
tries DHCP, but does not ask for the SSID unless you go back to the
main
menu and choose "configure network" *twice*.
Details:

for a third time, it *will* ask for the Wireless ESSID, and then
succeed)
--------------------
card used:
Netgear 802.11b Wireless PC Card
16-bit PCMCIA Model MA401
(known good in this machine per current Knoppix HD installation)
--------------------
I didn't have time to complete the installation.
I don't understand why the installer *does* ask for the SSID before
the WEP key,
but only on the third try. I suspect a small problem with the
sequencing logic.
--------------------
Hope this helps; keep up the great work!

Changes:
debian-installer (20040417) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Thiemo Seufer
- Tell clean to remove tree-unpack stamp files.
* Colin Watson
- Sync hfs.map with debian-cd, adding .sit (see #186837).
- Add parted-udeb to powerpc monolithic list.
* Joey Hess
- Access floppy is out of space, so drop all non-English text from
it (any better ideas?).
- For the monolithic target, include all kernel module udebs matching the
kernel from localudebs, and also any non-kernel udebs, automatically, to
make building custom kernels easier
- Add a pkg-lists/kernel_specific, for 2.4 and 2.6, currently
discover varies depending on the kernel major version, and there is a
hack to use module-init-tools over busybox for 2.6.
- Also add a kernel_specific isa-pnp-modules list, since 2.4 has the
module and package, and 2.6 does not.
- Add a new field to pkg-lists to get the kernel major version, and a
KERNELMAJOR variable.
- Add a monolithic_2.6 image type, a hd-media_2.6, and a netboot_2.6,
none currently on by default, that use the 2.6 kernel. So far for i386
only.
- Also added 2.6 versions of the cdrom targets, though the el-torito
one is out of space and disabled.
* Martin Michlmayr
- Add a netboot image for MIPS based Cobalt machines.
- Use 2.4.25 kernels for mips and mipsel.
* Joshua Kwan
- Add all sorts of sparc/sparc64 floppy support, with a net-drivers
disk for sparc64.
- Add cdrom-core-modules dependency for cdrom/sparc.cfg, but only
for sparc64. Hardcode it in because we don't support ${kernel:Version}
in package names that aren't always available on one of the
architectures being built for.
(Closes: #242343, #239136, #239887, #240577)
* Bastian Blank
- Respect EXTRANAME in kernel installation. (closes: #244209)
- Add s390 to build/choose-subarch-env.
- Use make magic to pull that script in.
* Per Olofsson
- Don't do PCMCIA config reduction as it doesn't take enough modules
into account. Closes: #243563.
* Stephen R Marenka
- Fix FTBFS on m68k. Closes: #244209
