1.  Have Laptop, with the following WiFi Hardware (as per lspci Command):

     > Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723DE
802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter

2. Use Netinst CD to begin an Install.  I tried this with many different
ones, from Buster, Bullseye, Bullseye with Non-Free, Sid.

3. Follow Instructions up to Network Configuration.  Note:  I have used
both Text Installer and Expert Text Installer.

4.  Offending Step is, "Detect Network Hardware".

     It takes about a minute wait, before something, perhaps times out, and
it returns, sure that there is ONLY an Ethernet Port on the Laptop.

The Problem is Recreated.  It's hard to figure out how to describe
something so early in the Install Process.  Hopefully, this helps.
