Confirmed, though I don't think that's a debian-installer bug; the
problem is really that NM's ifblacklist_migrate.sh is broken and doesn't
remove the offending configs.

Title:
  Alternate installer write network interface config, locked network-
  manager

Status in NetworkManager:
  Invalid
Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I had a clean-install Ubuntu 11.10, and very nicely, it have wpa
  support so that I can download those missing/broken(on CD) driver
  package. It finished install without trouble.

  reproduce:
  * install 11.10 with alternate CD
  * setup WPA network connection on installation
  * finish install and reboot

  expected to happen:
  * network-manger works
  * I need to setup my wireless connection on network-manger again

  happened instead:
  * a very slow boot while waiting network to be ready
  * had to remove wlan0 from /etc/networks/interface
  * network-manger locked up
  * restart network-manger

  suggestion:
  * stop writing network config on installation to target system
  * modify network-manger so it can detect existing config upon installation and save it
