Your firmware is non-free, so it is packaged separately (source package
firmware-nonfree, binary package firmware-mediatek).  But it is also
included in the netinst image.

The netinst and live CD images are 2 different things.

[...]

The installer should detect these log messages, then:

1. Install the required firmware package
2. Remove and reload the driver

Is that not happening?
