Like Meizirkki says: untar the image from the tablet or mount your memory card on the computer manually (i.e. don't have automounted) and unpack it then.

Memory cards are auto-mounted with anal-retentive options like nodev, etc. which NetworkManager does not like. I had been through ~5/7 installs of Mer wondering why NetworkManager kept saying "Wireless card not found" (or something like that)...

I should start the "NM should die" campaign soon...
