Bug#614921: cdrom: There is no wireless manager included on CD1
Subject: cdrom: There is no wireless manager included on CD1.iso
Package: cdrom
Severity: wishlist
The installation of Debian is very difficult for laptop users using WPA or using (temporary/failed) off-line installation, since there is no network manager included on CD1. This might well be a deal-breaker for most newcomers to Debian GNU/Linux, as configuring with wpasupplicant is obtrusive, and far from common knowledge.
Including network-manager-gnome (and/or wicd-curses) would be a great improvement.
