The current handling of network interfaces in the installer is rather confusing when somebody has an unsupported network device - it offers to configure vlan0, but there is no interface on which a vlan can run anyway.

(or 'done') [vlan0] This changes to only ask the question if some other network interfaces is found. amd64 installer iso with this at https://junkpile.org/cd71-netconf-novlan0.iso comments? ok?
