ubuntu install wireless screen asks for password for non-existent wireless connections

[Greg Grossmeier]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

See attached screenshot.

The dialog asks for a password and an empty list area for wireless connections.

If no wireless connections are found (due to wireless not being present, for instance) then this dialog is very confusing. Pressing forward works, but it is not apparent.

This appeared on a HP laptop: make and model: HP Pavilian dv9815nr. Also the install stalled later when trying to copy file 2 of 6. One member of the bug jam suggested that it was trying to download a file which, of course, won't work when not connected.
