Good point!  I haven't tested, that was just a thought, but you are
right, it won't help.

Yes, I can connect manually, but I'm not connecting to the nameless Wifi
anyways.

To clarify, the installer fails to _list_ the wifi networks.  So if one
network happens to not disclose the SSID (which is rather common), I
suspect that the installer will always fail.
