I didn't put anything in the wiki about wireless or bluetooth because they work exactly like they do in debian:
for wireless just add this to /etc/network/interfaces:
Code:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
  wpa-ssid foo
  wpa-psk mypassphraseisdumb
and type ifup wlan0

For bluetooth, I believe blueman is in the extras menu.

For a keyboard just hit the center d-pad button to get matchbox keyboard. It's a pain to use but it works.

@qole: automagically extracting people's WLAN and bluetooth info is more of a project than I want to take on, but your other thoughts seem reasonable. I think for now I'll drop people off into X given that forcing them to use a console restricts this to n810 owners and people with keyboards. GDM might be reasonable though (if it doesn't pull in an insane number of gnome deps). hmm, maybe gpe-dm.
