Unless you absolutely postitively have to use buster at this point: if you
have it working under Bullseye - Debian 11 - use bullseye on this system.
This is an _old_ adapter 2013-2015, I think? and may not be as capable
as newer hardware, but in this case I think there is soemthing else?
If you plug it into a bullseye machine and do the same, what do you see?
In any event, use the most up to date software that works.
All the very best, as ever,
