Unless you absolutely postitively have to use buster at this point: if you
have it working under Bullseye - Debian 11 - use bullseye on this system.

This is an _old_ adapter 2013-2015, I think? and may not be as capable 
as newer hardware, but in this case I think there is soemthing else?

If you plug it into a bullseye machine and do the same, what do you see?

In any event, use the most up to date software that works.

All the very best, as ever,
