Dear Maintainer,

1. in contrast to Linux Mint, the non-free iso does not detect my (popular) Realtek 8822CE wifi
2. non-free ISO is not available on german mirrors, so do not point us in that direction. I had to use the main server for downloading.

Dear Maintainer,

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso is the
main location for the unofficial non-free image - so that's the main Debian
images machine in Sweden. Debian mirrors are not required to carry
non-free unofficial images - www.debian.org points to the central location.

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/firmware-realtek suggests that the
Realtek 8822CE should be installed by firmware-realtek in non-free.

If all else fails, the recommendation is always to try installing with a
wired connection first, if available - wifi installs are not always as
reliable.

Hope this helps. With every good wish, as ever,

Andy Cater
