I just recalled coming back home that you can do this from the initial
install.
http://wiki.debian.org/Firmware
There is a link on that page to download a gziped tarball of firmware.
Just save it to a usb stick and have in plugged in before the install
starts. The installer will then find the needed firmware and load it,
then build the initrd image to include it. I just had to do this on a
laptop a couple of weeks ago. The intel wireless wouldn't work without
the firmware blob.
Still end up with a non DFSG system...
