Package: debian-installer Severity: important the debian-installer allowed me to configure my wireless lan settings during the initial network setup (before the first boot during the installation...this step actually worked correctly and the first set of packages needed for the base system were obtained over my wireless lan). i use a wireless lan with a non-default ssid and wep enabled (a more secure setup than using defaults). this wlan information appears to have been discarded upon the first boot when the network was being brought up. instead, no network connection was initiated. i had to resort to an installation via wired lan.
i think that the standard user should expect that if they set up wlan settings at one point in time that they well be stored and used indefinately within their new system (unless that user actually decides to modify those settings). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
