Bug Description

Hi,
yesterday I tried to install ubuntu. I have a wifi network with wep. So I enter
my wep key when I was asked, but dhcp didn't work.
So I logged in a console and I saw the wep key wasn't set. I try to set it with
iwconfig, but it fail. After reading dmesg, I saw that the wep configuration
need ieee80211_crypt_wep, but after looking in
/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-3-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ieee80211/, I saw there
was no such module.

After installing ubuntu without network, the kernel installed had this module,
and the wifi works well after I configured it.

So it seem the install booting kernel miss some wifi modules.

PS: I am not sure of the Component, please forward if it is wrong.

Added to nic-extra-modules on all architectures. It'll take a little while for
this change to propagate into a usable installer, as the Hoary installer isn't
working yet.
