Comments/Problems:
/var/log/syslog indicates it tried to load firmware for the USB WiFi
device, failed, but loaded the kernel module anyways. Then the
installer detected this, installed the package with the firmware, and
then got some errors about realoding USB modules. After this, it never
tries to configure the wireless network.
I was able to workaround this problem by preloading initrd.gz on the
netboot side with /lib/firmware/ath9k_htc/htc_9271-1.4.0.fw.
