madwifi during install?

[matt nicholson]

since its not installed by default, i don't think there is a way to use 
it durring the install. jsut like my card, a dell true mobile 1350, 
needs ndiswrapper to work, so for the install, i have to use regular 
old cat5 for my connection

ps: i used to go to school with a matt morgan
