Description of problem:
The installer does not install wpa_supplicant when WiFi board is available.

At the reboot trying to connect to WIFI, system ask for installing wpa_supplicant which is not possible without ethernet connexion, and some new laptop do not have ethernet port.

Thank you for this report. 
But something is odd, because wifi-only (no Ethernet) portable computers are quite common; and this problem should have shown up long ago.

Can you please say:
- something about your system, especially the WiFi card.
- what installation method you used, which ISO.
- the procedure you used to install the system as far as it went. You imply that it installed fully and failed at the initial re-boot.

Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution.

Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information.

Closing as OLD.
