Wifi not recognized - Pine64+ / Debian Bullseye - coredumpster - 08-13-2024

I have a Pine64+ single board computer, with the wifi/bt POT accessory.

Have successfully installed Debian 11 ( Bullseye ) and have that running, but cannot for the life of me seem to get the wifi/bt module enabled.

I have installed the firmware-realtek package, which should have the right firmware bits, but something else appears to be missing, and I'm at a loss.

Code:
cparker@pine64:~$ uname -a
Linux pine64 5.10.0-32-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.223-1 (2024-08-10) aarch64 GNU/Linux
cparker@pine64:~$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye

The Realtek FW .bin files are in /usr/lib/firmware/rtlwifi  for the rtl8723bs.

Modprobe doesn't appear to do anything.

Is it an issue with Debian / Bullseye?  Would Bookworm be different, or Armbian?  Not stuck with this version, but it's the first one I was able to get to boot properly, with everything else working.
