If you're running Bullseye, you're running Debian 11.

root@jhegaala:~# cat /etc/debian_version

root@jhegaala:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

A bit of searching
(https://duckduckgo.com/?q=linux+Atheros+AR8161+firmware&t=vivaldi&ia=web)
turns up this page: https://wiki.debian.org/alx. According to it, the
PCI vendor and device code for your Ethernet interface are 1969:1091.
So I would verify the identity of the interface by:

lspci -n | grep 1969:1091

If that returns a line of text with that vendor and device code in it,
you've correctly identified your interface.

If not, run lspci and see what you see.

If so, run "modprobe alx" to install the driver. See the bottom of
/var/log/syslog to see what happened as a result of that command.

Does anybody read signatures any more?
