The rtl8180 module has been in the kernel for a number of years so it
should be on a Squeeze netinst.iso. You do not have to supply firmware
for it. Please see
http://wiki.debian.org/rtl818x
The installation only uses WEP, however. If WPA is more convenient for
you you will need an iso from the iso-cd section at
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_alpha1/
For a Squeeze install it is the businesscard.iso you should download.
To put the iso on a USB device there is section 4.3.1. at
