Hi Dan,
New isos with many improvements were uploaded just a few days ago for
the release of the RC. Try one of those to see if it's still happening.

Thanks for the suggestion. It occured to me that I might be able to remove
the Broadcom adapter card from the C700 and that the netinst.iso might then see
the usb d-link adapter which just might work ootb. Without changing the
netinst.iso image, I'm now typing on the fresh install of ascii on the C700.
I will refresh the netinst.iso and retry with the Broadcom adapter. Of course,
I could now install the firmware required by the Broadcom adapter, switch in
back in and go. But the more important issue at this point is to get the
netinst.iso working in the case where the sneeker net has to be used to provide
it with the non-free licensed firmware on a removable device (usb). Stay
turned...
