I personally donate by wire transfer, even if I need to pay a charge.

So in summary, the kernel in 12.04 and above already has the free driver in
it and doesn't need direct modification in the future. It's just the .deb

it is ready.

Hi Chris,
Before anything, I just want to say for anyone that have the same problems as
me to get recognize the serial device (or even just to make it work without
permissions problems) that this problem is solved just by adding yourself to
the '''dialout''' group like this :

There is supposed to be an unplug update that fixes an issue with
abrowser 18, but I can't seem to download it; the automatic updates
thing doesn't get it. I think there is a git tree for the sources? How
does one build a Mozilla extension? This added to my reading list.

Paypal is a cancer and people deservedly distrust it
There are indeed many problems with PayPal (their handling of
WikiLeaks is one problem) which is why I'm boycotting them.
It seems that it may be possible for the FSF to process the donations,
based on this message:
The future is not written therefor it´s up for grab, but when I see the

Why on earth is X trying to load fglrx? It is a proprietary driver. Have you

The N5040 model is mentioned as not working with Ubuntu 11.10 (the base for

Not to mention that Bkuhn's a really cool guy. :) So Conservancy is a

I think you have said this wrong.
1. Ubuntu has the non-free firmware currently.
2. Ubuntu has a kernel with a derivative of the mainline kernel which loads
the non-free firmware. Most kernels derived from the mainline kernel include
non-free bits. The driver portion for the ath9k_htc (and
Then is there anyway I can uninstall version 3.4.4 from Trisquel 5.5 so I can
install 3.6.4? Thanks for your help, but the backports aren't really helpful
to me; I don't know how to use them and don't even have an Internet
connection on the computer on which I wish to install them.
I didn't understand that last portion. The nice thing about the source being
free is somebody can take it over if it is needed. The solution to the
problem here is to build up demand and fund a developer to take over the
project. Get them to update it and the device will work again.
wouldn't my BIOS system reject this card?
Not necessarily, no. The BIOS whitelisting problem isn't that is
rejects all other cards, but that is rejects cards using a PCI ID
that's not contained within the whitelist. According to the
information at thinkwiki.org [0] there are some T42 models that
It depends on the white list in your BIOS. It is possible that all IBM T42
laptops accept this particular card with an atheros chipset in addition to
the one in your laptop. This appears to be a card that would work in your
system and it would also be compatible with Trisquel.

Non-free driver for a touchpad?
Is that right?
Thanks, guys!
I haven't tried it, but you ought to be able to just uninstall it (well, the
components, individually, e.g. Writer, Impress, Calc) in the package manager.
Use Synaptic if that doesn't work.
The package manager won't allow me to, and I don't know where I can find
Synaptic or what that is.
Why not just use the PPA that Andrew linked to earlier?
Synaptic is another package manager. It's under Settings.
