I can't parse this.

The option is already there (hidden in the Utils menu), and there is a 
variable telling if it has been run - so maybe just ask (on new installs,
if it hasn't been run) wether it should be done?

Midterm I prefer to have sysinst fire up dhcpcd in the background and just
check its state sometime later. But then we need an additional menu for
wlan and ask for the password, firing up wpa_supplicant etc, so this needs
more churn than we want to do right now.
