I believe it would be quite funny to have wireless option during the
installation, but not afterwards. The user should be able to activate wireless
after the installation in the same way anaconda can do it during the
installation. The question is how exactly to do it.

NetworkManager does not have a command-line interface to add/remove connections. You can bring up/down wired connections from the command-line, but that's about it. Wireless connections require access to the Gnome keyring for the WEP/WPA passphrase, which isn't supported by "nmcli" (the command-line tool).

I'm sure Dan Williams would be open to patches implementing support if you care to add it. ;)
