However, the newer 8.1.0 installer detects the Ultimate-N 6300 card but cannot find its firmware blob. This is not surprising as this wireless adapter requires a proprietary firmware blob which the netinst does not include (I completely understand the reasoning for this, but it makes the overall installation problematic.) As a result, the onboard Ethernet appears to be left in a partially configured state (ip link shows eth0 but ip route shows no routes, ping to local network devices results in no route to host) and as a result is unable to successfully complete the network installation resulting in errors and a partial installation. Since the Ultimate-N card requires a proprietary binary blob which this version of the netinst does not provide, wouldn't it make more sense to not include driver support for it in this image as it will result in problems like this? (detecting the adapter but not being able to configure it is not a good user experience... it would seem to make more sense to direct the user to a netinst image with non-free driver support at this point if they have problems completing the installation) Also, in the event multiple network adapters are successfully detected and configured, I didn't see a way to tell the installer to use a specific interface as these would usually be on different networks and only one may be suitable to download the Debian packages. To work around this issue, I switched back to debian-jessie-DI-b2-amd64-netinst.iso which works as expected...
