Unless wifi is the only available network connection, install via Ethernet
and wait until the machine is running with Ethernet before you try to get
wifi working.
Even if proprietary Ethernet firmware is required for full capability, the
Debian installer typically can get Ethernet running sufficiently well to
allow download of proprietary firmware after the reboot at the end of the
installation.
