Waste of time, the firmware files cannot be distributed since they have
been sniffed from the USB data stream (but I have warez packages
online).

Anyway, it's not very hard to install using an USB DSL modem after
base has been installed, look at the instructions at
http://dsl.linux.it/DebianNetinstall .
The most common modems only need the firmware package to be installed.

(BTW, the eciadsl package may be a bit buggy because I have never owned
the hardware and I am not much inclined to support these piece of crap
modems. Patches are welcome.)
