[Bug 1722845] [NEW] Installer asks for Wifi password prior to keyboard layout setup

[Hanno]

Public bug reported:

I installed Ubuntu 17.10. beta-2 using an Oct-10-2017 daily .iso build
for the Ubuntu Desktop installer image.

Target system was a notebook with a supported WiFi card.

During installation, the installer detected the WiFi card and asked me
to enter the password to connect to an existing network.

This worked as intended, but:

The user is forced to enter the WiFi password with an English keyboard
layout now, since the keyboard layout setup follows *later* in the
installation process.

It would be good to ask the user for Language / Timezone / Keyboard
layout *before* connecting to the WiFi network.

Thank you.
