I tried this with

   d-i netcfg/wireless_show_essids	select manual

and all that happened was that the wireless networks were listed and
"Enter ESSID manually" was highlighted in red. The Debconf Programmer's
Tutorial at

   http://www.fifi.org/doc/debconf-doc/tutorial.html

says for "select":

The values in the templates file for netcfg for wireless_show_essids are
not separated by commas. Could this be the cause of the behaviour?
