Hello,

Well, possibly when it's related to accessibility, but here it's
really not, and thus you won't get expertise on the matter from
debian-accessibility@. I have thus Cc-ed debian-boot@, since that's
where expertise on the matter is. Normally, debian-boot should be able
to help non-sighted people too.

It asks for additional non-free firmware, unfortunately it's an Intel wireless card. It gives a list of files it wants in order to configure the network, which is I suppose a good start. Still,

You didn't miss anything, that should be it.

It's surprising: they should indeed be already there, since they're in
the firmware-iwlwifi non-free package, even in version 20190114-2 that the
10.4.0 image ships.
I don't know more about the potential tricks with iwlwifi, thus leaving
up to debian-boot.
