Use the firmware .iso for Bullseye: use the standard installer for upcoming
Bookworm (the Alpha 2 was just released).

Firmware iso for Debian 11 is at 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 so you don't have to use network

All best, as ever,
