It would be appropriate to put iw in there, if netcfg installed it. My only concern with this and network-manager would be that it also adds those packages to the netinst. So it would be better to list network-manager in a task file, if it's necessary to get debian-cd to include it. It could be listed in tasks/sid/Debian-gnome. Sledge can probably make better suggestions. -- see shy jo
