No good. I downloaded "Debian GNU/Linux bullseye-DI-alpha3 "Bullseye" - Unofficial amd64 NETINST with firmware 20201203-12:50" (Above was the description in the Expert Text Install). One note: It took about a minute on the "Detect Network Hardware" step, before continuing, and only finding Ethernet. So what is special about the RTL8723DE WiFi Adapter? (After Installation, I can find it, and the Realtek Firmware works). Thanks in advance, Kenneth Parker
