Bug#761400: debian-installer-7.0-netboot-amd64: jessie netinstaller amd64 doesn't recognize wifi card in hp15 touchsmart 15g069cl

Additional Information: Just tried latest ubuntu live and it detected the wifi card without trouble. Therefore the kernel used by

Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64 bit contains what is needed.

Thank you.

Debian netinstaller cd doesn't recognize the wifi card in HP 15 Touchsmart
Notebook 15-g069cl. I tried both stable and jessie, none works. Sees the
ethernet port, not the wifi card. This has been observed after disabling secure
boot in the UEFI bios. Notebook came with windows 8.1 preinstalled, windows
partition had been shrunk by windows tools before attempting installation.
