Dear guys,
I tested again with firmware-jessie-DI-b1-i386-netinst.iso and firmware-testing-i386-netinst.iso, now both ethernet and wireless card are detected :). I was so excited. The direction is right to use non-free installer. When I entered my correct password but after a while the error message I got is "The exchange of keys and association with the access point failed. Please check the WPA/WPA2 parameters you provided." :(. I could download a additional Atheros driver, but without internet connection it could not be installed due to pakage dependency. In google I have more or less learned there is still something missing in installer, maybe it is a bug? Hopefully someone could consider this issue and I am looking much forward and waiting for new version released. Thanks again all guys, I feel realy warm here :).
