Thanks for the tip! I will have to check those out as well.  I believe I
did have the non free when I setup to ensure Wi-Fi support.  I don't know
if the miscellaneous non free was included with that build.

I used an unofficial build from here using the netinst.iso writtento a
USB.

Here are my apt sources.  Anything you think I should add?

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.2.0 _Buster_ - Unofficial amd64 NETINST
with firmware 20191116-09:56]/ buster contrib main non-free

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.2.0 _Buster_ - Unofficial amd64 NETINST
with firmware 20191116-09:56]/ buster contrib main non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib
