I would imagine prior to installing the non-free components it would be
beneficial to know which cd image was used to install testing. If it was
an official image w/o non-free firmware his success could most likely be
attributed to updated drivers in the kernel in which a backports kernel
would suffice.
If the testing netinst media did include firmware then your suggestion
to install non-free firmware should do the trick. Though it might be
neccessary to modify apt sources to include non-free.
