Did you mean RTL8821ec?  I can't find info on an RTL1882ec.

Either way you probably need the firmware-realtek from non-free for it
to work, which is of course not included in the live image.

Hi Dinny,

You may need to find the equivalent Debian-live .iso that specifically
includes firmware. This is unofficial in that it includes non-free
firmware but is prepared by Debian developers and maintainers.

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.3.0-live+nonfree/amd64/iso-hybrid/

and, specifically, 

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.3.0-live+nonfree/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-11.3.0-amd64-mate+nonfree.iso

You may want to ask further questions on IRC on OFTC on channel #debian-live
or the mailing list at https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/

With every good wish, as ever,
