A reason for not loading FW is that kernel driver has no information that the firmware also has to be loaded for the particular ID.

Bug#940528: debian-installer: B43 Firmware Not Found or Installed
Package: debian-installer Version: Buster 10 Severity: normal Tags: d-i The following notes a number of installer problems. I attempted to install Buster on Dell Studio XPS with debian- live-10.1.0-amd64-xfce+non-free. During install there is a notice of a need for B43 firmware. But while the firmware is supposed to be included, the installer cannot find it. Worse, when swapping out the flash drive for another with the firmware directory on it, it still cannot see it and cannot come back from the original installer drive is reinserted. Currently, the connection to the network is slow to connect. It is assumed that it is because of this reason. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
