Interestingly the device works in Bullseye as I installed Bullseye on the computer that used to use it. That really only required downloading the correct firmware package that contained the brcmfmac module. That package no longer exists in Bookworm.

All you need to do, is to search for package, it may have different name under Bookworm. dmesg give you file name you want:

[  176.573530] usb 1-3.1: firmware: failed to load brcm/brcmfmac43236b.bin (-2)

apt-file search brcmfmac43236b.bin
firmware-brcm80211: /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43236b.bin

Install package firmware-brcm80211.

As I identified, that package doesn't exist in Bookworm:

# apt install firmware-brcm80211
