Having the question asked in *all* cases would be far preferable to
having something you may not want forced on you.
I still do not understand "For most cases . . .". Without a handful of
CDs available there is only one way to restore the disallowed connection
to a network - ifupdown. Set it up, pull it down, set it up again isn't
my idea of what Debian should do.
Because the opportunity may not arise again:
I have been following the development of wireless connectivity in D-I
for the past year. The implementation (from the point of view of whether
it works) is very good. I would like to thank you and everybody else for
the work which has been done. The quality of the emerging end result is
a credit to the Debian Project and shows what can be achieved with Free
software and a team of committed developers.
