When wired network is not up during install, Ubiquity does not bring up dialogue to create a connection

[Santosh]

When installing Lubuntu 13.10 beta 1 yesterday, installer window informed me that a Net connection was needed for installation, but indicated that a connection was not up (which is natural since it cannot know my DSL username/password yet).

However it does not give the user any option to create a Net connection by giving details. Simply informing that connection to the Net was not there isn't helpful. I had to open a terminal and create a connection by invoking nm-connection-editor, before proceeding with the next install step, but this isn't something an average user new to Linux can do.

The installer should not only indicate whether Net is up or down, but in the latter case also provide a dialogue to create a new connection.
