Hi, don't know if it can help you, but I have such a wifi controller on my motherboard (not using it though, and never for a netinstall), here the lsmod output : lsmod | grep rtl rtl8187 44224 0 mac80211 127440 1 rtl8187 eeprom_93cx6 2624 1 rtl8187 cfg80211 31712 2 rtl8187,mac80211 So it seems you need rtl8187, and there's an eeprom reader involved to eeprom 93cx6. "dpkg -S" tells me that all of this is compiled in my kernel, but maybe not in the installer one ? It has always worked out of the box.
