I also like the unspoiled Gnome3...I just recalled coming back home that you can do this from the initial install.http://wiki.debian.org/FirmwareThere 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...
