That wouldn't be fine for me.

I was under the impression, unless you've bought something,
that you were using:

 Device-1: Broadcom Limited BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter
  vendor: Wistron NeWeb driver: bcma-pci-bridge v: N/A port: 2000
  bus ID: 03:00.0 chip ID: 14e4:4727

which would require firmware. There's a wiki page:

https://wiki.debian.org/brcm80211

Most laptops' wifi will require firmware.

Cheers,
David.
