Are you using the unofficial non-free including firmware .iso to install
from?
I'd suggest starting there:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.1.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso
If you can install via Ethernet before using the wireless interface, I would
suggest that you do so.
I would also suggest installing the network manager package to configure the
network interface. I find that nmtui is very useful.
All the very best, as ever,
Andy Cater
