Yes, that probably would be another option -- but as you say it still
looks like adding a dependency into 'mythtv-backend' for networking
(either '$network' or 'network-manager') for Debian users. At that
point, either having a delay (like I did), or hard-coded wireless
network parms in '/etc/network/interfaces' would do the trick :)
I remain puzzled, though, that other Debian users have not encountered
the same challenge (?).
All in all, I remain even more impressed with MythTV than I was in the
past -- I have used it for many years, but often go for extended periods
without 'touching' it (so that I don't break it). Recently, I upgraded
one of my frontend machines, and (again) was forced to upgrade the
backend to the same version -- and it was easier to do a fresh LMDE
install for that. Not sure why, but running a wireless frontend on a
netbook was impossibly too slow before, but now I can easier watch TV
(or recordings) on my little Asus netbook if I want!
Thanks
