Actually, there were User Errors included here.  I couldn't find the
packages I needed to bring up WiFi, after manual installation of Firmware.

The User Error was my failure to look in the packages available but not
installed, on the netinst CD itself. One obvious way to proceed is to
ensure that the netinst CD is still in the Apt Sources file.

I believe that we are in the same boat, right now.
