Handbook Talk:AMD64/Installation/Networking

Wireless drivers
The networking guide is outdated in the "Preparing for wireless access" section. Setup for Wireless networks using WPA or WPA2 protocol could be introduced here for convenience. Networking is often necessary during setup, and having this step integrated to the guide would be helpful for many, since WPA and WPA2 are becoming more commonly used protocols in WiFi routers.

For example, basic usage of wpa_supplicant and wpa_passphrase could be introduced in spirit of Sakaki's excellent guide here --Laurenzo (talk) 19:45, 19 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Is there a useful number of wifi drivers, firmware and wpa_supplicant on the minimal CD?
 * My advice on the forums is still that if you need WiFi to install, start off with SystemRescueCD.
 * Then add wifi later. The root of the problem being that the minimal ISO is too minimal.
 * Has that changed?
