You could check if the daily builds work better, since those are using a
3.16 kernel (instead of 3.2 in wheezy and 3.14 in jessie right now).
You'll find them under:
  http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/
  http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/i386/daily/

(I could also be less lazy and look at the actual chipset, and figure out
whether it's supposed to be supported at all; but I'm already busy with
other d-i topics, sorry about that.)

Mraw,
KiBi.
