Comments/Problems:
The cabled NIC worked out of the box. No manual config required.
The wireless NIC required installing firmware-misc-nonfree and the
kernel from bullseye-backports (the Mediatek 7961 wireless NIC required
kernel version >=5.12, bullseye has version 5.10, but bullseye-backports
has version 5.18).
After rebooting with the 5.18 kernel, the wireless NIC worked perfectly
with no manual configuration required.
Other than this, the display, keyboard, sound and touchpad has worked
without a hitch, as far as I can tell. No manual configuration done.
Suspend resume also works fine.
I manually adjusted the partition table during the install. The
automatic partitioning only created 1GB of swap. I wanted 1.5 times
physical memory to allow for hibernation. So I set up a partition table
with 24GB of swap and the stuff between the UEFI partition and swap as
ext4.
The installation process has been documented here:
