    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,

    Andy Cater

    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.
