Comments/Problems:
I tried to do a net-install using 802.11b.
My institution does not use WEP, but does use an SSID.
This causes a problem, because the installer asks for the WEP key,
then
tries DHCP, but does not ask for the SSID unless you go back to the
main
menu and choose "configure network" *twice*.
Details:

(note that in the first example, if I go back to "Configure the
network"
for a third time, it *will* ask for the Wireless ESSID, and then
succeed)
--------------------
card used:
Netgear 802.11b Wireless PC Card
16-bit PCMCIA Model MA401
(known good in this machine per current Knoppix HD installation)
--------------------
I didn't have time to complete the installation.
I don't understand why the installer *does* ask for the SSID before
the WEP key,
but only on the third try. I suspect a small problem with the
sequencing logic.
--------------------
Hope this helps; keep up the great work!
