I've downloaded the non-official image of debian which includes non-free drivers, you can find it here.
When at the "detect network hardware" step of the installation, it shows me a list of drivers that are loaded, I need the rtlwifi package since I'm using an rtl8822be (specifically I need the rtlwifi/rtl8822befw.bin driver).
The rtlwifi package is listed but when I select it the screen goes blank for a couple seconds and then returns to the same network hardware detection interface. This happens for any network driver I choose.
What's going on here? I'm aware I can install the driver online, but this is not an option since I do not have an ethernet port or a usb to ethernet adapter.
EDIT: I've included a snippet from /var/log/syslog. It looks like it can't find the appropriate firmware.

It does not detect any missing firmware. Spawn a shell in the installer environment, andcat /proc/modules
to see if the wifi driver module (rtlwifi?) is loaded at all (usegrep
if necessary). Also checkdmesg
manually for messages emitted by the driver (either loaded or not).

See what appears in syslog when you choose the driver and get back to the same screen. The installer provides a way to view the log or even to export it to some external storage.

@FerencWágner, I've updated the question with a snippet of the log.

It does not detect any missing firmware. Spawn a shell in the installer environment, and
cat /proc/modules
to see if the wifi driver module (rtlwifi?) is loaded at all (usegrep
if necessary). Also checkdmesg
manually for messages emitted by the driver (either loaded or not).– Ferenc Wágner
