Bug#686226: [FATAL] Wheezy Debian installer fails on Qosmio hardware

[Alexey Eromenko <al4321@gmail.com>]

Package: debian-installer
Version: 20120712
Severity: serious

Hi,

I'm trying to install Debian from Wheezy DVD (BETA1) on amd64. (Qosmio
X300-130 laptop).

Actual Result:
It fails during the "Detect network hardware" phase. Ie. stops
progressing, and no way to skip this stage.

and in console (F4) it complains about the lack of iwl Intel Wireless
firmware and missing eth1394 (Firewire Ethernet).

Expected Result:
Should proceed without problematic firmware or drivers.
Debian 6.0 works great on this same hardware. (installed from amd64 DVD)
