Title:
  Installer doesn't support WPA

Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  WEP wireless security is widely held to be weak so people should use
  WPA instead. Unfortunately the network setup stage of the installer
  doesn't support WPA even though wpa_supplicant is now well supported
  on an installed system. This issue could effectively prevent some
  users from using a minimal net install disc.
