The easy way, in many cases, is to run the wire up a pipe chase, or just
beside a pipe, from the basement to the attic, then drop it down from there.
Really, you drop it from the attic _down_ the pipe chase; gravity is your
friend.

Burglar alarm companies are geniuses at this sort of thing, and they have
long, flexible drills that are Just Right for putting in wire without
disrupting the sheetrock.

Or go wireless ....
