Bug Description

I installed Ubuntu 17.10. beta-2 using an Oct-10-2017 daily .iso build for the Ubuntu Desktop installer image.

Target system was a notebook with a supported WiFi card.

During installation, the installer detected the WiFi card and asked me to enter the password to connect to an existing network.

This worked as intended, but:

The user is forced to enter the WiFi password with an English keyboard layout now, since the keyboard layout setup follows *later* in the installation process.

It would be good to ask the user for Language / Timezone / Keyboard layout *before* connecting to the WiFi network.

Thank you.
