Tells me to connect to WiFi even if I don't have WiFi

What Happened?

Just been testing out the drivers feature of the installer and managed to boot into a laptop install without a working WiFi card.

Initial setup correctly informed me I didn't have an internet connection, but said I should:

https://github.com/elementary/initial-setup/blob/d1485b3eba4c693408a60009605f1766f9ed0451/src/Views/NetworkView.vala#L42

The network indicator in the top right just opens a blank popover since I have no working WiFi and no ethernet NIC.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Don't have a WiFi card
  • Get to the network view of initial setup

Expected Behavior

This messaging should only appear if a WiFi adapter is available, or the wording should be less strong (i.e. "connect to wireless network, if available")

OS Version

Early Access

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)
