You cannot use these wireless devices during the install, only after a machine is installed.

SOFTWARE ISSUES/BUGS

ftp install
Currently, during an ftp install when it get's the the graphical section, there is a long pause (close to a minute) when it sits at a blank screen. It is NOT frozen, it is just searching for files that are not there. Give it a couple minutes and it will continue.
