Just as an additional data point. I have been using all these changes since they were commited in all my tests and don't know of any unresolved problems. I also reviewed all changes made by Sorina before mergeing them to trunk. But of course I can't garantuee that I did not miss something. Another check is always appreciated. As a last part of the GSOC project we are working on a better solution to carry over wireless configuration to the installed system. This should avoid the current problems that the cleartext password is written to /etc/network/interfaces and that network-manager does not manage the wireless interface because of that. This code can be found in the people/sorina/write_config branch. I don't intend to merge this before wheezy without prior discussion on debian-boot. But personally I think both changes should go into the wheezy installer. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. ~ Samuel Beckett ~
