I would make the argument that ThinkPenguin's following the Free Software
Foundation guidelines to the extent possible. If your going to try and argue
failures in our product line up I'm going to come back and argue the Free
Software Foundation's not living up to its own standards. The realit

I have that exact USB and running your 100 packet test to fsf.org ( ping -c

Sure, as I previously stated, the Gluglug X60 uses the AR5B195 wireless card,
which is technically the AR5B95 w. an additional bluetooth chip. While in
this aspect the seller of the laptop has the ability to install a wireless
card without the part requiring non-free firmware blobs (the AR5B2
Now-a-days there are many network connections available and some of them are
used with the help of software. And therefore the use of wires have been
reduced to some extent.
I think "free software friendly" means not having optional features
requiring nonfree firmware. ThinkPenguin products don't offer Bluetooth
requiring nonfree Atheros firmware to be provided by the distro
regardless of them being certified or not.
Any specific source for RYF-certified hardware usi
So a hardware component working in a fully-free environment, that has free
driver/firmware released under a liberal _free_software_ license is not
enough to say that its "free software friendly". Therefore beware Trisquel
users, because many ThinkPenguin products does not gone through the Res

The AR5B22 is not a free software friendly card and I'd highly discourage it.
We have lots of people streaming 1080p video with the TPE-N150USB. It's
definitely not an issue with the adapter/firmware/etc. It may be a defect in
the particular adapter you received or a similar type of issue rel
Yes, a "AR5B22" based card from eBay is the top pick nowadays. It should cost
you something around 6 bucks (note that this card has bluetooth integrated,
but it will not work since ath3k requires non-free firmware blobs - just
ignore that). If that's too much for you, you can choose a lower-e
Cool, do you have a specific recommendation for an internal card?
I don't mind keeping the USB one as a backup option. And while money is an
issue, it is not _the_ issue. I'm just really fed-up with ethernet cables.
Aha. I asked because I own this adapter and it newer worked me quite well to
the extent, that it caused kernel panics/system crashes. Sorry, but I cannot
help you with this. But what I do recommend is to buy an internal wifi card
instead if you can. This solved all my problems that I've got t
No, the wirelss connection remains throughout. You can tell that there is an
issue since I can't stream video without it stuttering, for example from
TWiT.tv "mplayer -aspect 16:9 http://bglive-a.bitgravity.com/twit/live/high";.
And if I run "ping -c 100 something.org" I'll get proof of this
You mean that the connection is periodically dropping, then reconnecting?
I've tried this on every kernel release so far with the same results. So if
it is a kernel issue then I haven't hit on one without the problem.
Different USB ports have been tried, as did connecting through the same USB
to a different wireless device and seeing 0 packet loss.

Which kernel are you on? Latest might be most useful or perhaps the latest
backported saucy kernel.
One silly idea is to try different USB ports as they might give different
amount of power and interference.
I found this interesting on zero packet loss, not that I claim to fully

hello all,
Ever since I've had it the thinkpenguin TPE-N150USB has been dropping between
3%-10% of wireless network packets under Trisquel (using the firmware from
jxself).
I've done the troubleshooting to make sure that this isn't special to my
network (happens on any network) or my rout
