No adapters recognized
Just booted up BT4 pre-final from USB drive and neither wireless nor wired adapters were present.
Wired is Intel PRO/100/VE
Wireless is Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
They were both recognized under BT3. The fact that not even the wired adapter is present makes me think there's something I've missed. Any ideas?

Now working - sorry
I'll boot in again and try that. Main thing is it was just a false alarm. I read the review at Dedoimedo and it pinged when I read: "The network is not enabled by default and you'll have to fire it up manually.". So:
/etc/init.d/networking start
/etc/init.d/wicd start
Success.

ifconfig -a
Result of ifconfig -a was:

By the way the 'networking start' command takes a long long time. Most of the time spent on DHCPDISCOVER requests. I shouldn't need to DHCP before I've selected a network - should I be doing something differently?
