[Bug 955232] Re: Switch 'prepare' and 'wifi' steps

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

I've changed the design as Jean-Baptiste suggested -- putting "Connect
to the Internet" first, and including the option to install proprietary
wireless drivers directly inside that step.

** Description changed:

+ ubiquity 2.9.28 [modified:
+ lib/partman/automatically_partition/question], Ubuntu 12.04 beta
+ 
  Currently the 'prepare' step does network detection and propose an
  option to download updates from the network. But it the system uses a
  wireless card and is not connected, the wifi setup is the next step
  forcing to go back run 'prepare' again and select the download option.
  
  having 'wifi' before 'prepare' would make more sense.
