This is an old adapter. ar9170 - it looks as if it's covered in 
firmware-linux-free now - but you might need a file carl9170-1.fw

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/firmware-linux-free

All the very best, as ever,

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,

Thank Andy! i've just installed bullseye again, and can't get it to work with netgear wn111. its problem is same as fresh install of buster. actually i've complained this before: if wifi adapter isn't set up by installer, then i'm unable to get it to work after installation 

i always use same procedure to get connected: edit /etc/network/interfaces, then run ifup/ifdown to take effect, i'm not aware of network manager

 allow-hotplug wlxe091f5061648
iface wlxe091f5061648 inet dhcp
        wpa-ssid mice
        wpa-key-mgmt NONE

my old bullseye works, ifup looks like this:

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
