It has not yet got to the screen that offers the WiFi host to which to connect.

WiFi networks are available - in my previous two UbuntuMATE 21.04
installations, I got a screen, during the installation process, that
displayed the available WiFi networks, from which, for me to select a
connection.

However, I am now wondering whether it is caused by the bug to which I
have referred, in my subsequent, different thread, post - the UEFI
requirement bug in the installation process.

The previous two clean installations of Ubuntu MATE 21.04, that I
managed to complete, are on UEFI systems.

Maybe, 21.04 simply does not like BIOS systems.
