Fedora is generally pretty good about free software, but they make an
exception for drivers to ensure that their product works on all hardware.
Firmware. They make an exception for firmware. Firmware and drivers aren't
the same thing.
Fedora is only a completely libre system if you add Freed-ora, which is an
unofficial package provided by the Linux-libre developers that conflicts with
Fedora's non-libre firmware packages.
As mentioned, your card depends on proprietary firmware, and this will not be
included in Trisquel (that would undermine the whole point of Trisquel's
existence). The solution is either to do without wireless, or get a new
wireless card or USB wireless adapter that works with libre software.

tiny fraction of humankind is).

using the prerelease?
That I am. But I'm looking forward to being able to suspend the machine
instead of having to power it down.
A small thing I know...

Having it released does not
Ubuntu 14.04 came out in April. Its long overdue to release Trisquel 7.
Given that I, and several others, are running the pre-release, this
suggests that there are no show-stoppers blocking the release. Maybe
I'm mistaken, and there's a blocker? I'm with Teg on this one.

That's not an easy thing to do and requires writing a replacement for the
nonfree firmware. There is only one project so far that has reverse
engineered WiFi firmware (OpenFWWF for some Broadcom chips). If someone
releases a libre replacement firmware for your Realtek chip, you'll be able
I checked the driver sources and both require nonfree firmware.
I noticed that today in the pre-release version. The computer suspended and
woke up okay, and then Freemind (mind map program) closed without warning.
Another time, after suspend and wake-up, the computer restarted without
warning.
My machine suspends but on resume the screen is frozen. It does not do this
on Trisquel 6. Or on any other distro. But you're right to say it has no show
stoppers. On the contrary, it's very good already.
As an aside - within the last few days a Beta has been released for the new
