Comments/Problems:

On this hardware, wistron_btns.ko needs to be loaded to be able to
enable wireless networking.  This kernel module was not present on
the installer CD image, so I could not enable wireless.

Wired networking seemed not to work, not sure why.

I installed without networking (with wireless firmware loaded from
USB), and after this minimal install completed I rebooted into the
system, loaded the required kernel module and was happy enough, no
further problems.
