debian-7.1.0-i386-netinst included installer can not detect network hardware



Dear core developers,
I Am very happy, when i have found out, that thanks to MR Samuel Tibault, there is possibility to have speech support while using debian-7.1.0-i386-netinst and integrated installer. I do not know, why, but i AM helpless to install Debian system because The process of detecting network hardware can not be completed successfully. The progress bar stay at the 95 percent.
I Am using IBM Thinkpad model 2668
It is very sad, because i Am sure, that Linux kernel is containing The driver for The integrated Broadcomm Extreme Ethernet Network chip. Do You think, that i could help The developers to track The reason, why network hardware can not be auto detected successfully?
Because i Am visually impaired, i have used The
s
character at The Isolinux boot screen followed by pressing Enter key to install The system with speech support. I can send You some log information, but tell me The procedure, to help You to find The cause of The network cart issue. Because Espeakup and Speakup is cooperating so nicely with Linux kernel and ALSA sound server and with Espeak synthesizer, i can use one of The free virtual console to type The necessary commands. Or i must use more modern computer and do not try to install Debian Wheezi on my IBM Thinkpad model? I would never intrude You, but i Am not able to force GTK and other accessibility related libraries to install Debian live by using included Debian live installer. Debian Squeeze can not be installed because of complex C language library call related issues, so when killing GDM3, login as root, typing startx Using Orca with Orca setup questions completed, Debian Squeeze GTK based installer can not be used. It is very interesting to use gnome-terminal with Orca, logged as root and try to run Debian Installer in The Debian Squeeze live project. The list of library related issues, .so files and C language rleated information is really outstanding.
But how to debug and help C developers to fix those issues?
Thank You very much for Yours help.
With kindness regards.
Janusz Chmiel
