If you want I can send you a screenshot of the Ethernet screen, where I
can select WIFI drivers.
When I plugged in the USB-Ethernet adapter, I will not be asked
anything. Installation then automatically configures network, IP, time
and so on.

Good to know, thank you. I will use it for the next installation.

The situation right now is:
- - Screen resolution, brightness controls and sound are working.
Probably because of the AMD firmware I've installed. Also the laptop
is not getting warm anymore.
- - BT is working with the non-free Realtek firmware. WiFi chip cannot be
activated because of the known bug: "rtw88 / rtl_8821ce: rfe 2 is not
supported". This bug is fixed on Ubuntu, but the range of WiFi is only
2 meters (also known). On Ubuntu there's a proprietary driver for this
which works well. I'm not sure if it is possible to install that on
Bullseye.
- - Suspend is not working, also known bug. I was reading somewhere that
will be fixed in the next main linux kernel.
- - Now my renderer is GLX_MESA_query_renderer and for OpenGL it's AMD
Renoir.
