Mitja -
I am glad that you have enthusiasm for getting this card to work on your
system, but the reality is that you will not get it working on a Trisquel
system unless you force non-free firmware or buy a new card. No one here on
this forum is going to help you jerry rig your system to make it work with
non-free components.
Since you said that buying a new card is not an option for you, then you may
be stuck. If it is critical to have a Linux OS on your system, I suggest just
installing Ubuntu or one of its variants for now and consider Trisquel down
the road if/when you get a new wifi card. You can continue to only use
free-software on an Ubuntu system and say active in the communities. I've
noticed with the newest version that non-free "restricted" and "multiverse"
repositories are not enabled by default and you can keep it at that for as
long as you like.
What I am saying conflicts with the ideologies around here, but it is better
that he uses Linux in general instead of going back to Windows. Even if he
only uses 1 non-free wireless firmware to get online and continues to support
free software with it, then kudos for him. I've been in his situation before
with wireless and it would be nice to know that that he doesn't get
discouraged in the long run and continues to support free software and Linux
in general.
