This is what I usually do.  And if even the ethernet card isn't 
recognised I temporarily install an old ethernet card, get 
Wheezy/$VERSION (I have been doing this for some time!) installed (I 
use the net-install CD) and then sort out the drivers.

When I can, I use an installer with non-free firmware.  But it can be 
tricky to find one!  I believe there is a Wheezy one at the moment, 
but don't know where on the Debian site it is hiding.

I'm a great believer in free software, but quite fancy keeping my nose 
attached to my face. ;-)
