That should be good enough to install, and then add non-free to
sources.list and get the firmware required for the driver to work
(absent a non-free debian installer that bundles non-free bits). This
is no different from what I have had to do already for my nvidia card
(degraded X support until I arranged to have non-free nvidia drivers
installed). I would think that was an acceptable solution.
