I don't know if this is really related, but when installing hoary array cd 7 on a friend's laptop 
the wireless was not detected automatically either. A lot of others reported (also with that 
pre-release) that everything worked out of the box. (HIs laptop had an Intel wireless 2200BG chip).

This error might be obsolete because Hoary has changed since than, but I'd like to hear about any 
information.
