Description Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2006-02-08 16:04:12 UTC 
I tried a network installation via wireless LAN, but it was not possible since there was no possibility to set up the WLAN card.
Comment 1 Michael Gross 2006-02-09 16:16:33 UTC 
Well... would be a nice enhancement, but not quite trivial to implement. There would be an internet connection required for downloading the firmware and so on, wich would require some other form of pre-existing network connection which on the other hand would make the wireless approach like a little ridiculous - or this feature would be limited to the box version. It would be a major undertaken...

Jiri: What do you think about it?
Comment 5 Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 2006-02-17 10:22:19 UTC 
What about providing a script which adds the necessary firmware to a miniboot.iso?  These isos have enough space and if users are going to build the isos themselves, we are not tied up with license problems.
Comment 6 Steffen Winterfeldt 2006-02-17 11:24:40 UTC 
Yes, that would be easy enough. You can even put the add-on files on an
extra CD and have the bootloader integrate it.

Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
