There was a bug report to the debian-boot list recently:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2013/11/msg00143.html
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729855
Sounds like the same problem, but only for jessie and sid, though.

Are you able to proceed with the rest of the install, to get a minimal
base installed?

I wouldn't worry about that, at least for now.

Googling around, it seems that you probably need proprietary drivers
from the Realtek website, _for both of these devices_. (And for the
wired device, you need to blacklist another module the linux kernel
chooses by default.) I didn't really read the details much, but you
might want to check out

Further googling might get you something better/easier.
