It could be resolved, if the net-install installed the base system
first , and then configuring the net; as it was in Sarge; in this case,
one could buy an unexpensive wireless card; another thing is that
apparently there are some cards that are not in need of install
firmware, but can not be configured by the net-install, as rtl-8187L and
ralink-rt73, because, they are not identified, and wireless-tools are
useless at that moment.
