>Description:
Trying to install from boot-only CD,

The scan for Wifi channels failed if the AP was on channel 13 (which we normally use here - I am in the UK). Changing to 12 dis not resolve the problem. CHaning to channel 4 did. 

Note that the scan only shows 4 SSIDs even though a scan reveals nine in range, and the real problem could be a failure to allow sufficient channels to be viewable after the scan.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install on network where AP is on channel 13 (or there are more than 4 APs before the channel of the AP you want).
>Fix:
During install, all channels should be allowed, not just those permitted in the most restrictive jurisdictions, and the maximum number of APs/SSIDs displayed probably needs to exceed 12.
