	After contemplation, my reply is:

I'm not certain I understand the question. If there is enough detail?

If the Debian Wheezy? system is installed do: dpkg
-i /yourUSBstick/thefile-name.deb

I think that should install it, unless you get any errors.

If you are installing Wheezy? and have a netinstall or DVD/CD just
install the system for now. Bypass the network card search. Then do as
above and after that do all the network search and find things and
apply the packages.

Hope that helps somewhat if not completely.
Charlie
