Try a more recent weekly image, it should have a slightly newer kernel.
Done. Debian "Bullseye" Official Snapshot amd64 Netinst 20210315-93:04

Same behavior.

Note: This is an "Over-Simplification" of Agonizing Work, to get to where I was. For example, "lspci" is what gives me the Adapter Information. The first place where I got this Adapter to work was Mint 20. However, in preparation for helping my friend, I got Firmware and Drivers, using only a Bullseye KDE System, via the Non-Free routes.
Maybe it triggers a bug in the D-I and/or kernel in the images you tried
so far.
I concur, based on my latest Install attempt. And, by the way, using only the Minimal Sid system, "ip a" gives no info AT ALL about the WiFi Adapter.
If the latest weekly shows the same symptoms...
It does...
...I'd suggest you file a bug
against debian-installer, preferably with reportbug immediately after
completing the installation.
That's next on my list.
