You can also use these official and unofficial at the same time images
to install Debian. [1]
As a last resort you can disassemble laptop and physically remove Intel
WiFi NIC before installation and put it back after installation is
successful.
Depending on the model of laptop that procedure could be a matter of
unplugging battery and unscrewing a few screws to remove plastic cover.
But if you are not feeling comfortable doing that then skip this suggestion.

Thank you Alexander.
I kinda like the idea of pulling the Intel wifi and just going with a
Think Penguin free software wifi.

I hear you on this:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/
But I kind of want to know what all Debian is indeed pulling in,
non-free wise.
(I may need to go the full non-free CD route though; if I can't find
those files elsewhere).
Thank you!
