Description of problem:LXDE only install from mga8rc1 C1 32 does include wpa_supplicant (and dependency libpcslite1). if the installer does not include these, as the 32bit install media is unavailable if a USB, some users may be unable to connect to the internet if their hardware only has WIFI and no wired LAN connection. it is a catch-22 situation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.install LXDE only DE 32 CI via USB media, onto hardware that does not have a wired LAN 2.attempt to connect to internet via WIFI 3.
Summary: add wpa_supplicant to LXDE only 1586 install => add wpa_supplicant to LXDE only i586 install
I think a workaround is to redo installation, and select these packages and selecting to not format anything. Loop mouinting manually is too tricky for normal users, and i would need intenet access to read up on it first ;) Much better if task-lxde pull in what is needed for connecting to internet. - that goes for any DE really! - should we check more?

Yes, it is fundamental that WiFi should be installed every time. > Assigned to the package maintainer. Done! CC'ing ISO group in case this is a case of ISO content.

Hi, I checked how the requirement of wpa_supplicant is handled for Plasma and Gnome, for example, and it appears wpa_supplicant is not directly required by those DEs but by networkmanager (via networkmanager-wifi). I do not think it is the job of a DE to handle such a requirement. For me, the good package should be drakx-net-applet. Hence, not only LXDE but all DEs depending on drakx-net-applet would have wpa_supplicant automatically installed. Currently, I think wpa_supplicant is only installed when the first wireless interface is configured so that a PC without Wi-Fi will not contain a useless package. Best regards, Nico.

I have tried several i586 DE and they are all affected on this hardware.
