Thank you for reporting this!

Indeed - driver wasn't included into install CD. It will be fixed in
Beta2 release early next year.

Meanwhile, try the following after the installation:

# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade (this will bring new myamanet-gani package)
# apt-get install sunwrge
# reboot
