I think it'll work. Let us know. Thanks,
One more thing: You'll have to 'apt-get install wireless-tools' from the CD after you have finished to whole installation. I can confirm that this works on my laptop with PCMCIA NIC, if I don't plugin my PCMCIA NIC until 1st stage says "Installation complete", and then 'go back' to main menu to detect/reconfigure networking. It worked, but wireless-tools had to be installed afterwards, manually. If you can make it work with this workaround, I will close this report. It's unlikely to be fixed in time for the release of the final installer images, so I will make sure to file an errata item to the d-i developers where I mention how to work around the problem.
