My solution was to upgrade to a later version of Debian with NIC driver support. I don't think installing with a disconnected NIC would test the condition, you would need to test with an unsupported NIC or maybe no NIC installed. The hardware I used is no longer available (Odroid H2+) so its not a real concern
The release of 2.9 will solve the issue as kernel 5.9 and up support the 2.5gb NICs but have their own issues with network latency with Mesa ethernet boards mostly with Realtek NIC's. This causes an error finishing read that disables the mesa card. Peter Wallace seems to think this was some bug introduced in the kernel but has been resolved in V6 of the kernel. I think that will become Kernel V5.20 when released so hopefully that finds its way into Bookworm before the official release as the stable Debian version. (Bookworm is currently on kernel 5.19). Peter has suggested that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_idle.max_cstate=1 processor.max_cstate=1 idle=poll i915.enable_dc=0" might help resolve the issue but I have yet to test that. Sorry to go a bit off topic.
