Dear Maintainer,

Users can currently preseed wireless connections. A possible enhancement is: if preseeding included installing Network Manager (NM), to optionally provide the AP credentials to NM via nmcli. E.g. (for shell scripting):

    nmcli con add con-name "${essid}" ifname "${wif}" type wifi ssid "${essid}"
    nmcli con modify "${essid}" wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk
    nmcli con modify "${essid}" wifi-sec.psk '<redacted>'
