Some facts (extracted from logs):
* installation onto laptop (NetworkManager is proposed by default)
* automatic configuration (thus, no chance to enter e.g. encryption keys for
WLAN)
* no ethernet available
* WLAN device uses prism54 driver(?) - needs firmware
Summing all those up, attempt to bring the network up (not surprisingly) times
out.
Automatic configuration works reasonably well in ethernet device with DHCP
server available case, anything need more than that (wireless setup, firmware
packages) needs opting out of automatic configuration. Then you'll have an
option to configure network in detail.
Reassigning this to installation maintainer, maybe there is something that can
be done to improve user experience (skip the update step if the network's down
..)
