2. I _actively_ abhor activating *any* WiFi device. [long OT story]

That would be a "workaround" but not a diagnosis/solution.
I'm working with a multi-boot system to make all environments as
consistent as possible.
My system currently has [from image of DVD1]:
1. Debian 10.0 with minimum default configuration of MATE.
2. Debian 9.13 with MATE with lots of extras.
Neither has any non-free drivers and both connect readily to internet.
Attempting to install Debian 10.8.0 from image of netinst.iso downloaded
after following default link from Debian homepage. The apparent failure
point is on the screen offering automatic configuration using DHCP.
