Maybe one more proposal: do not focus on the "USB-attached ethernet interface" in the template. Maybe the user already has a wired ethernet interface built into the laptop, but the user did not take that into account, since using WiFi is just the preferred option, because it's easier (no need to plug in a cable). So, something like this: You may need to load a specific module for your network card, if you have one. For this, go back to the network hardware detection step. -Else, a USB Ethernet adapter might be a workaround during installation. +Else, a wired Ethernet connector (built into your machine or externally +attached via USB) might be a workaround during installation.
