I tried to install from CD iso.

I've found this solution:
1) download the right firmware package (my ethernet card is Realtek
RTL8111/8168B, and the firmware is in the deb file
firmware-realtek_0.36_all.deb),
2) extract the deb file with ar and tar, and put the files in a store
device (usb, hd, etc...)
3) start installing debian testing with expert mode
4) skip detecting network and conf
5) ctrl-alt-F2 and try to mount the device where we put the firmware. If
mount fails (Invalid argument...), go head in the next installation
step, until mount works
6) copy lib/firmware directory (extracted from deb file)
in /lib/firmware
7) go in the detect network step

copy and past the errors you can see in console 4 (ctrl-alt-F4).
