That doesn't seem like an acceptable answer.

Is wireless-tools preinstalled on the ISO?  That's the package which
contains ifrename, and if you don't have that, you need to install it,
which involves manually patching connect.lunar (this is a TRIVIAL patch
by the way, it took me ten seconds to figure it out when I was helping
Chris on #lunar) to find the usb[0-9] network interface.

For another thing, network configuration should happen in the installer, 
and that should be aware of such things as USB network interfaces.  The
lnet utility exists for a reason--to get things like that right so the
user doesn't have to waste time manually changing things on their
system.
