Using USB DVD drive, and installing from installation DVD would solve this.
Once you install all needed packages/system, you can find the pci ID of

Hi, Tom --
Thanks. :-) Didn't work, though -- those key combinations got me to console
screens but not with an actionable prompt. I tried typing commands into them
anyway, but CentOS netinstall continued to try to talk to wlan0.

Hi, John --
Thanks. :-) Looks like it'd be Fn + F3 on this one, but I suspect they set
it up to work that way with Windows. There's no light to be seen anywhere,
and pressing it made no difference to CentoOS netinstall.

Hi Jeff,
You can use Alt + F3 or Alt + F4 once you're inside the installer to open a
console.
If you disable the wlan0 interface before the network part of the installer you
should be ok.

Hi, Bert --
Thanks. :-) Doesn't seem to be an opportunity or way to open a console
before this problem comes up, with netinstall. I just scanned to see if
there might be a kernel parameter for it; doesn't seem to be.

Hi, Fabien --
Thanks. :-) I removed two screws that seemed to be holding a cover in place
over the HD-and-memory compartment, but the cover remained pretty tightly in
place anyway. Dunno what I'm missing -- but if there's a switch in this laptop
I'd figure it must be in there. (?) Now what...

Hi, Folks --
I'm setting up an Acer Aspire 5250 as a Christmas gift, CentOS 6 netinstall
insists on trying to configure wlan0 but I'm using a wired DSL connection,
consequently netinstall fails and only offers the option to Retry.
How can I get it to bypass the wlan0 idea and go straight to eth0.
