  --->  Option 4  shows a comma only : 

  From here you can choose to retry DHCP network autoconfiguration (which may    
  succeed if your DHCP server takes a long time to respond) or to configure the  
  network manually. Some DHCP servers require a DHCP hostname to be sent by the  
  client, so you can also choose to retry DHCP network autoconfiguration with a  
  hostname that you provide.                                                     
  Network configuration method:                                                  
    1: Retry network autoconfiguration,                                          
    2: Retry network autoconfiguration with a DHCP hostname,                     
    3: Configure network manually [*],                                           
    4: ,                                                                         
    5: Do not configure the network at this time,                                
  Prompt: '?' for help, default=3>   

  --->  If you choose option 4,  the next panel shows  :

  Network configuration method:                              
    1: Retry network autoconfiguration,                      
    2: Retry network autoconfiguration with a DHCP hostname, 
    3: Configure network manually,                           
    4:  [*],                                                 
    5: Do not configure the network at this time,            
  Prompt: '?' for help, default=4>

  Option 4 is for wireless configuration which does not exist on s390.
  The problem here is that the list of choices is implemented in the
  templates file itself and becomes replaced.  The wireless choice is
  replaced with an empty string.

  A possible solution would be to create the complete choices string
  within the netcfg module.  However, this might have an impact on
  translation then.

  I will leave the final decision up to Canonical how to solve this.

  Thanks.
