Unless you absolutely postitively have to use buster at this point: if you have it working under Bullseye - Debian 11 - use bullseye on this system. This is an _old_ adapter 2013-2015, I think? and may not be as capable as newer hardware, but in this case I think there is soemthing else? If you plug it into a bullseye machine and do the same, what do you see? In any event, use the most up to date software that works. All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater > >
