Bug Description
In testing 8.04 release candidates, I noticed that the iwl4965 firmware binary is not available in the alternate installer, which in my case meant that I had no network available in the installer. This seems to be because it is not included in the nic-firmware udeb.
It worked fine in the installed system, of course.
I will attach a complete dmesg, which includes the following excerpt:
[ 78.534487] iwl4965: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN driver for Linux, 1.2.0

This should be easy to fix for 8.04.1.
