My centrino laptop has a functional wifi system (ipw2200) suppose if wifi is the only LAN connection available for my laptop, at this stage is it possible for me to configure the Debian installer so that it can do a net-install via the wifi system?  If not, when would it be likely for this feature to be added to the Debian installer? (or would this feature be likely to be implemented into the debian installer in the final version of etch?) This feature would be critical for promoting mass-adoption of Laptop into our Debian system.

Also, the wireless network in my office uses the WAP2 PSK encryption.  Would the installer be able to accomodate this (i.e. let the user specify the type of encryption used (WEP/ WAP etc.) and let the user enter the hex key / passphase? (Currently Ununtu Dapper installer supports wifi-based installation, but doesn't seem to support WAP / WAP2, please correct me if I'm wrong)
