I erroneously assumed you were installing over wireless because
firmware for a wireless chip was asked for. Very silly of me. The
firmware question would still be asked if you were installing with
a cabled connection. (Were you?).
If "yes", the failure to get an IP address via DHCP has nothing to
do with missing wireless chip firmware.
