Good news. This adapter is well-supported. It does need a non-free firmware blob, which is packaged as firmware-iwlwifi. The curious thing is, the install disc that you downloaded should have that package. Anyway. Grab http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/buster/current/ and uncompress one of those three archives on a USB stick; when the installer asks you if you have a removable disk with drivers or firmware, plug it in. Around the middle of the install, the installer will ask you what Debian repositories to enable. In addition to selecting security updates, add non-free. -dsr-
