AWESOME! This helped me install the driver and stop pulling my hair out LOL!!! Also - "sudo apt -f install" didn't work for me. I had to "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y" followed by rebooting the computer. I hope this helps anyone that is stuck. Also this was a successful install on OrangePi Zero 3 1GB.

This is what worked for me -

Add this line in /etc/apt/sources.list - (choose your text editor ... nano, vim, etc) - I like nano

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
#deb-src deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free

(nano exit and save) - CTRL x
