Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Dear maintainer,

I did a fresh installation for a Thinkpad E480 using debian unoficial 
image that includes firmware:

/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/bullseye_di_alpha2

linagora@e480-fp:~$ lspci | grep -i wifi
05:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8822BE 
802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi adapter

linagora@e480-fp:~$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

The wi-fi does not work in the debian-installer neither in my fresh 
installation. After to waste some time googling I finally found this bug 
and I fixed the problem following the workaround proposed by dlf29 
<dlf29@et.byu.edu> (creating a hard link because the path got changed).

Reading many post I relized the kernel mainstream maintainers changed 
the hierarchy and as far as a I can see in testing we have only 5.6 and 
5.6 kernels (new hierarchy):


linagora@e480-fp:~$ apt search linux-image | grep ^linux-image | egrep 
-v '5.4|5.6'

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in 
scripts.

linagora@e480-fp:~$
  information

Could you please change the path and names in order to fix this issue.


Cordially,
