The installer currently does not support _any_ hardware that requires firmware. You can either 1) do an installation without using the network, or 2) temporarily use a different network card during installation, or 3) find some way to manually copy the needed firmware files into the correct location for the duration of the installation (and make sure you also install the firmware package for the installed system before you boot into it). Supporting this better in some way is on our todo list, but there is no ETA for any implementation. See the archives for the debian-boot mailing list for various discussions on the topic.
