I wanted to provide an update on this thread. I tried the Bullseye rc3 on two 
additional laptop machines with Intel AC WiFi and am still able to reproduce 
this bug. I also tried a few networks in different places and got the same 
results. All networks tried were 5 GHZ.

I appologize in advance if I reported this against the wrong package. When 
running the netinst Sid daily firmware image, if I try to connect to my 
wireless network that uses WpA 2 from the installer, selecting the network via 
the menu always causes a timeout, however, if I select "Enter sSId Manually" 
and connect, I can get online and finish the install.
The PCI ID of the network controler is: 00:14.3 Network controller: Intel 
Corporation Cannon Point-LP CNVi [Wireless-AC] (rev 11)
The kernel in the installed system is 5.6 and I think the installer kernel was 
the same. The issue is not reproducible in the current stable Debian 10.4 with 
this same laptop. When using another machine with Qualcom Atheros QCA6174 the 
issue was not reproduced in the stable or daily Sid image, so it would appear 
to be hardware specific. Let me know if there are any more logs I could provide 
that would help. I am also totally blind so I used the speech text mode 
installer.
