Comments/Problems: Other than the not detecting the builtin ethernet adapter, the installation went okay. The result of the install was a functioning system which when booted would detect and initialize the ethernet adapter.
When the Install process failed to find a dhcp server, I used Alt-F2 to activate a console and searched through the syslog for the error. I found that the module mdio-bcm-unimac.ko failed to load. When the newly built system was booted, I copied mdio-bcm-unimac.ko from /lib/modules/5.10.0-5-arm64/kernel/drivers/net/mdio to a usb stick.
I rebuilt the SSD using Rufus and started the installation process from the beginning. When the network setup failed to find the dhcp server, I opened the Alt-F2 console, mounted the usb stick, copied the mdio-bcm-unimac.ko module to
/lib/modules/5.10.0-5-arm64/kernel/drivers/net/mdio, and then issued the command insmod to install the module in the kernel.
I used Alt-F1 to return to the installation process and selected go-back to restart the network configuration process. The network adapter was initialized, the dhcp server found, and the installation was completed successfully.
This problem has been present in the Bullseye Weekly Builds: 2021-03-01, 2021-03-08, and 2021-03-15.
The problem summary is: mdio-bcm-unimac.ko module is not installed in the kernel.
The problem solution is: install the mdio-bcm-unimac.ko module in the kernel.
