Well one of the big issues I see with laptops and smolt is, a lot of
laptops come with the b43 driver broadcom wireless cards, and when
they set the system up they cannot send anything with smolt because
there is no internet connection.  One thing that came to mind is can
we add a third option to the smolt send profile screen, where is says
something like remind me later.  And then when the install is complete
and they set there wireless up, a little message box pops up every so
often when there is a connections asking if they want to send it.
Otherwise I cant see most people sending there profiles in especially
on laptops.

Just a thought,
