Bug#502955: debian-installer: essid cannot be chosen



reassign 502955 netcfg
forcemerge 284799 502955
thanks

Quoting Mate Soos (msoos@freemail.hu):
> Package: debian-installer
> Severity: normal
> 
> There are multiple wireless spots around my house. Debian defaults to an
> unsecured network(see later how I discovered this), but that network needs a web-based login (only
> available to paying customers), so it doesn't actually work. My own
> wireless router works, and I have the key for it, but the installer
> never actually asks for the essid, so I don't have a chance to select
> it.

Prompting for ESSID is available in expert mode of the installer. See
#284799 for another bug report (which I personnally disagree with)
which suggest that such prompting should be done in standard more.
