You need to post the full names of what you used to install with. It's likely that your downloads aren't the firmware-inclusive versions that you need. If so, you need to download one containing the non-free firmware, which appears to be available: * MediaTek MT7921 hdr firmware, version 20230117170855a (mediatek/WIFI_MT7961_patch_mcu_1_2_hdr.bin) * MediaTek MT7921 firmware, version 20230117170942 (mediatek/WIFI_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1.bin) It's also /possible/ that the bookworm installer is still not production-ready yet.
