Code:
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz

wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/partition.img.gz

zcat firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz partition.img.gz  > complete_pbp_image.img

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free-firmware/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-brcm80211_20230515-3_all.deb

ar vx firmware-brcm80211_20230515-3_all.deb


However, the Debian package firmware-brcm80211_2023515-3_all.deb doesn't contain the files that the installer is asking for:

 brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin
 brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio..pine64,pinebook-pro.bin

Beside the symbolic links in the Debian firmware package, what is the package named with the correct files?

Are you sure about the 2nd filename, because it looks all wrong.

AFAICT, you should have a symlink like this:
brcmfmac43455-sdio.pine64,pinebook-pro.txt -> brcmfmac43455-sdio.AW-CM256SM.txt

And then ofc also have the AW-CM256SM.txt file in the 'brcm' directory. And that should all be contained in the firmware-brcm80211 package.
(I have no idea how to integrate that with the installer though)
