I think there are a couple of additional issues relating to this:
1. When attempting to specify a network configuration (either the first or
second time -- we agree that there ought to be just one), if you choose the
wireless interface on a machine that has both, you are not given the option
of specifying a static ip address (I use static ip addresses for all my
Linux machines, so I can address them by names given in /etc/hosts for ssh,
scp and rsync purposes).
2. When I do choose the wireless interface and specify the SSID for the
wifi network in my home, 'wpa' as the encryption method, and supply the
correct password, I get a an error message (I don't have the exact wording
in front of me) saying that an attempt to acquire an ip address via dhcp
failed. This exact process works correctly every day with our cell phones
and tablets, so there's nothing wrong with the base station or its dhcp
server
I would suggest having a look at the OpenBSD installer. It is a model of
quick, efficient system installation. Obviously it won't apply verbatim
(since BSD disk partitioning is a world unto itself and it is a purely
text-based installer, not curses-based), but I suspect a lot of it could be
useful as a guide.
