The reason why you can't install Debian directly from a WiFi with some
manufacturers is precisely that we do not ship non-free nor contrib
software by default in our Debian installation different to what does
other distributions like Ubuntu (no offense meant).
So no, there's no other contrib/non-free packages there. When there's
something we ask you. In fact you have to add contrib and non-free to
your repository sources.list for this very same reason.
