Better to use the unofficial .iso image that includes firmware from the start

- https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.6.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso 

(CD size installer that requires network to continue to download)

- https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.6.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-dvd/firmware-11.6.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso

(DVD image)

This should not be an issue with Debian 12 (bookworm) if the installer can
be built to include the firmware from the beginning.

All the very best, as ever,
