Interesting approach. When I recently installed Debian on a newish computer I needed some firmware packages and a newer kernel too from debian-backports. I was able to use my phone connected to USB enough to complete installation and then install what I needed from debian-backports and then get online with built in ethernet. After that I have bought some cheap Linux-compatible USB ethernet and USB wifi adapters, just in case.
