There are no sellers of exclusively free software compatible wireless usb adapters. It's best to find a USB adapter from h-node that you like and search for a good price on that one (on Amazon or elsewhere). However, MOST Atheros wireless-g and wireless-n cards will now work with Trisquel.

Not to be rude, but the two facts you mention: media manipulation of information + public being idiotic, are dreadful things this world have for which you will find no consolation in a GNU/Linux distro users discussion group. I *guess* that you disagree with the posture Stallman took. He has his r

Yeah I'm Israeli. The journalists didn't lie - they just used headlines that suggest that Stallman cancelled the talks due to pressure by the Palestinian who wish to boycott Israel when in fact it is just an internal matter of funding. And that unfortunately is what the public knows as most
