To get a minimal install on Debian on our system, most of use prefer Debian netinstall, The netinstall seems to be a really nice setup. The only problem is that if you are a Intel WiFi Card user Debian netinstall does not come with the driver or ucode for Intel WiFi Cards.
So I figured out a way to get the Intel WiFi Cards for Debian in the instructions below. The following Intel WiFi Cards are supported by the drivers.
