Hi, Tom --
Thanks. :-) Didn't work, though -- those key combinations got me to console screens but not with an actionable prompt. I tried typing commands into them anyway, but CentOS netinstall continued to try to talk to wlan0.

Hi Jeff,
You can use Alt + F3 or Alt + F4 once you're inside the installer to open a console. If you disable the wlan0 interface before the network part of the installer you should be ok.
Regards, Tom

Thanks. :-) Doesn't seem to be an opportunity or way to open a console before this problem comes up, with netinstall. I just scanned to see if there might be a kernel parameter for it; doesn't seem to be.

Hi, Folks --
I'm setting up an Acer Aspire 5250 as a Christmas gift, CentOS 6 netinstall insists on trying to configure wlan0 but I'm using a wired DSL connection, consequently netinstall fails and only offers the option to Retry.
How can I get it to bypass the wlan0 idea and go straight to eth0...?
Thanks,
Hi,
I believe there is an hardware switch available to shutdown the wirless on this laptop. If you disable it then no wlan0 can be used.

Hi Jeff, or try to open a console and disable the WLAN interface (ifconfig wlan0 down), and set the default route to the ETH interface (route add default eth0).
