His only chance is probably... if he can clean the intel me, which he
shouldn't do without special knowledge of how to modify a bios via external
flashing. Of course... that is very dangerous, so I don't recommend it.
That being said, he may have to learn what I learned back around 7 years
Its an Acer Aspire One 1-131 cloudbook

Unfortunately, I think that all Intel WiFi cards require proprietary
firmware. If your BIOS allows it, maybe you can replace the WiFi card.
What is the vendor and model of your computer?

Hey there I just joined this forum. Its been great reading thru all the
posts, there's a wealth of info. I really like the free software idea and
want to get everything libre! Alas, I'm still trying to work out the kinks.
Anyway, I installed Trisquel on a usb stick and on one computer
It *might* work with openfwwf. Try installing that and restart. If not then
yes, replacing the WiFi card with one that doesn't need proprietary junk
would be a good idea. Or, if you don't want to open the computer, there are
USB ones too. Like

That WiFi card doesn't work without proprietary software. Trisquel only
includes free software.[1]

I am super new to Trisquel gnu linux, I am trouble installing wifi
driver(broadcom BCM43602 -14e4:43ba) on my laptop. According to the
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/brcm80211, Driver is
supported in 3.17+ kernel version. I did try different Linux operating system
which
can i get my Centrino Wireless-N 1030 to work withe trisquel
if yes how to do so step by step
trisquel now wont even recognise a wirles card or network on my laptop
i do not know anything about linux only that i want it
I think that someone here will be able to help. I'm just here to nit-pick:
Linux is one of many programs that make up our system. It's misleading (and
gives undue credit) to call the whole system Linux.
This community cares about software freedom, as the GNU Project set out in
1983. All
I got a dongle online a couple years ago that simply plugs into the USB port
and it works perfectly. If there is no free alternative for your wireless
card, that's what I would suggest, as it worked fo rme.
so botom line is this card is made by satan and i cant use it
rather than making a purchase for a dongle i just went in the basment and
made a 15 meter utp cable i gues if you want to be truly free wifi isent a
smart move anyway.
thank you bothe for your ansers
Replacing the internal wifi card is a pain with a lot of systems now. HP,
Dell, Toshiba, and Lenovo/IBM implement digital restrictions to prevent users
from replacing there wifi card with another. Companies make significant money
off of after-warranty part sales and so forcing individuals
