Installing Debian over a wifi connection

I'd like to install Debian on my laptop which is a Centrino with 3945
wifi. The firmware package is in the non-free section so I'm fairly sure
the installer wouldn't support it - and I don't think the installer
supports WPA anyway.

The easiest thing would be to use the laptop's wired ethernet connector
for installation but I don't want to fiddle about with wires. I would
like to try it this way:

Use an Ubuntu LiveCD, repartition the HD if necessary, mount the
partitions somewhere, debootstrap Debian (unstable) into them, chroot
there and install the rest of the packages I need with apt-get, set up
grub, and hopefully have a working system. Will this work? I'm not clear
whether debootstrap sets the system up so it will work standalone or if
it's only for chroots.

Also, what's the difference between debootstrap and cdebootstrap?
