Network-manager depends on wpasupplicant (hard dependency). So removing
wpasupplicant also removed network-manager. Didn't you read what apt-get
printed before accepting ?

My suggestion blacklists the kernel module (rt2800pci) whichs needs the
firmware, not the firmware itself (rt2860.bin).

A module is a loadable part of the kernel which runs on the host.
A firmware is a loadable blob which runs on the device.
