[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Wifi enabling issues on Dell - BCM4312 LP-PHY

You are not as novice as you think (after all, you used the lspci command  
with a pipe and grep combined ;) ). SirGrant is right of course, and it is  
not your fault, that the WiFi card doesn't work. One has to be very careful  
when choosing hardware, if you wish to run it with free software only.  
Especially laptops have lots of hurdles to take, one of them being WiFi. I  
hope you can find a cheap replacement that will work well, else you will have  
to use really long cables...
