I'd suggest starting there: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.1.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso If you can install via Ethernet before using the wireless interface, I would suggest that you do so. I would also suggest installing the network manager package to configure the network interface. I find that nmtui is very useful. All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater > > > >

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 > >
