Boot Armbian again and look at the Linux kernel dmesg output to see
which firmware is being loaded. Try to find that in Debian using
apt-file. If it isn't present, try to find it in the upstream Linux
firmware git repo. If it is present then you just need a newer version
of the linux-firmware to get into bullseye. If it isn't present then
Armbian needs to get the missing firmware added upstream, and then it
will later get into Debian.
