wireless or wired networking or both??
I had to find non-free .deb file from non free depositry for debian or tar.gz from manufacture and inside them is a .bin file with firmware for my hardware.
not sure if your situation is exactly the same with intel hardware but during install when I didnt have a usb storage stick with .bin file the wireless networking installer would keep popping up on me during install. using the graphical install instead of the ncurses install allowed me to get through the install though the wireless network installer would keep popping up I could hit back and select next installation process to completion.
disabling the wireless and wired networking in bios would be another way to sidestep things so you get a system installed to work with later.
