Bug#611032: debian-installer: Instaler does not prompt for loading firmware-ralink for Linksys WUSB54GC wlan card
Unfortunatelly I have moved to wheezy and cannot provide information
relevant for squeeze. But fortunatelly, as I have checked, wheezy with
kernel 3.1 loades the firmware correctly during installation.
