Are you using the unofficial non-free including firmware .iso to install 
from?

I'd suggest starting there:

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.1.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso

If you can install via Ethernet before using the wireless interface, I would
suggest that you do so.

I would also suggest installing the network manager package to configure the 
network interface. I find that nmtui is very useful.

All the very best, as ever,

Andy Cater
