Hi sciguy,
I'm not sure that UEFI/BIOS mode is the reason for not connecting to
Internet but check in which mode Debian installer recognize the system
during initial screen menu.
Here are two screenshots
BIOS mode - https://ibb.co/Q8yvyYz
EFI mode - https://ibb.co/pKfpcQp
if you want EFI mode try to disable compatibility mode in UEFI. If you
want BIOS mode then enable compatibility mode in UEFI.
Kind regards
Georgi
