Bug Description

When installing Gutsy tribe-4 with alternateCD on a Samsung R50 Notebook, i had no choice to WPA wlan connect, only WEP-Access was given.
After manually trying to configure the eth1, then at the end the installer hangs trying to HTTP-connect with the not functioning internet.

Workaround: With ALT-F2 open a console, activate it, enter this command:
ps -A
At the end of output find some high NUMBER (>18000) with HTTP... and enter command:
kill -9 NUMBER

The installer of Gutsy should prove any giver config for internet connection for functioning.
Even with functioning internet connection there should be a timeout or some choice to give up for the user.

I've certainly seen this at least at the pkgsel step.
