Thank for your help Bob, I'll try that as soon as I can. I think I 
should be able to do that in command line without a screen.
In fact I already tryed to install the firmware this week, but without 
adding the line in /etc/apt/sources.list so it may
explain why it's didn't work (I had no visual feedback but "halt" did 
work so I'm sure I was logged".

So here are the command I should enter I guess :

  echo "deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib 
non-free" >>/etc/apt/sources.list
  apt-get update
  apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree
  reboot

Or I could save it in a script under my root home directory from a 
working system and simply launch it after a reboot under debian.

kind regards
