Hi,
This is the official Debian media installer
Try the unofficial non-free CD : from the lines I've selected, it looks as
if you might be able to install via wired interface without loading firmware.
Otherwise - you need to install firmware-iwlwifi for the wireless card
You might want to install:
firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-misc-nonfree firmware-iwlwifi to ensure
that you've got everything.
The unofficial installer including non-free firmware is at:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso
Hope this helps. With every good wish, as ever,
Andy Cater
