Thank you for that update. I will give your sources list a try because
my new Asus desktop install won't accept the sources list from my
working laptop:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main non-free contrib

with this message:

Release file for http://deb.debian/dists/bullseye/InRelease is not
valid yet (invalid for another 5d 13h 52m 3s) Updates for this
repository will not be applied.

Because the installer configured the Ethernet connection but could not
access the mirror, I put in the above from my home lappy, but still no
joy. So will try your sources list, thank you.
