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.

the installer will give you a choice as to what network interface you want to use, if you are not seeing that its possible the installer does not see the second interface at all.
I am trying to remember how this went on my Acer. Firstly, the hardware switch for the wireless is probably on the front. It doesn't give any sign that it's on or off, you move it to one side, then release and try this a few times.
