Hello,

I can't understand the problem. Netinstall interrupts due to missing 
rt2800 package? Also in case you are not aware of it there are also 
builds that have already non free firmware drivers. But they are unofficial:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/

I didn't follow up the whole conversation so i might miss something.
