===========
Some of firmware are free and open-source, and some of them are non-free.
For example, firmware-realtek is in the non-free archive area, so download them beforehand.
1) download the firmware tarball for your installation, extract, and have them available on removable storage.
When the installer starts, it will automatically find the firmware tarball on the removable storage and, if needed, install the firmware for your hardware.
http://packages.debian.org/firmware-linux-nonfree
http://packages.debian.org/firmware-realtek
2) the versions of the "netinst" CD images that also include all the non-free firmware packages directly

non-free firmware
==============
# Any firmware loaded during the installation will be copied automatically to the installed system.
# In most cases this will ensure that the device that requires the firmware will also work correctly after the system is rebooted into the installed system.
# However, if the installed system runs a different kernel version from the installer there is a slight chance that the firmware cannot be loaded due to version skew.
# If the firmware was loaded from loose firmware files, the firmware copied to the installed system will not be automatically updated
# unless the corresponding firmware package (if available) is installed after the installation is completed.
