OK. The missing firmware is iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode

See this site:

$ dpkg -L firmware-iwlwifi|grep iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode

This firmware is available in the firmware-iwlwifi package in Kali. And that package is available in the Kali ISO image.

And the files are there in /firmware/ in the ISO image for the installer. So I don't really understand why it asked you to provide the missing firmware via removable device.

What ISO image did you use ?

If the system is already installed, please send me a copy of /var/log/installer/hardware-summary and /var/log/installer/syslog.

Otherwise, during the install, can you see whether you have some meaningful error message related to this in /var/log/syslog of the installer (or the fourth console, you can switch to it with CTRL+ALT+F4) ?

In fact, it might be a real issue as discussed in the sub-thread here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2013/04/msg00433.html

I'm not quite sure however given that we use a newer kernel compared to Debian Wheezy.
