While I agree that a chooser for the ESSID to use should be shown (also in default mode), _if_ there is more than one ESSID visible, I wish to state that installing Debian over wireless is not security risk. Unless you consider gpg signed package checksums (with md5, so there is a risk...) a risk :) Unless, you pxeboot the installer over wireless, but this is supported by very few hardware only ;-) regards, Holger
