You might want to enable the non-free packages as below.

~$ grep non /etc/apt/sources.list|sort
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free

The Intel drivers are in the non-free packages.
BTW: I am not sure if the deb-src are really necessary. I have taken
the default sources.list and added the non-free stuff as above.

If things work it might be better do delete the stuff which you have
copied from elsewhere.
