I decided to upgrade to Bookworm because I needed to use some NVRAM memory supposedly available in my computer, but then my wireless Ethernet started to "complain". I initially thought those errors might be related to the lazy use of the Ethernet drivers from Bullseye but when I started to use Bookworm's drivers the errors became more complicated. Following some hints from:
