Comments/Problems:
I tested on the graphical installer and on the old installer. Both network
adapters were recognized, and seem to be ok ( I tried ethernet and wifi).
The problem appears on the step "Configure package manager" were I am asked "Do
you want to use a network mirror". When choosing "yes", I am sent back to the
menu were I can pick an installation-step ... without any error-message.
When picking the next step( choose packages to install), I am asked again to
pick a mirror ... so only option to procceed is to say: "Dont use a mirror" ...
I would at least like to see some error-message which tells me why the
installer fails to use a network-mirror.
When using the debian-jessie installer CD (v4.5) the step "using network
mirror" works fine .. however I got stuck later :X

Sounds like that's the same issue I had. I cannot re-test, since it was
the Notebook of a friend .. I solved the issue (and another one I had
with debian on this notebook) by installing a XUbuntu instead of a
Debian, which worked fine.
So I quess the bug can be closed as it is a duplicate.
