Debian live is less well tested than the standard Debian installer - it 
does things slightly differently. That is also an older version.
The netinst .iso I suggested above contains firmware - with the next Debian
major version, firmware should be included in the installer.
(Bookworm - Debian 12 on release - currently in hard freeze for release later
this year).

The corresponding Debian live with firmware for 11.6 is at

I would suggest that you try with the netinst for the main Debian installer.
Other larger media are also available.
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.6.0+nonfree/amd64/ has iso-cd and iso-dvd images, for example.
