Re: [Trisquel-users] How does this thing work?

I found these page: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43  
https://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx#b43-b43legacy
I think it is a Broadcomm card. Broadcomm are really bad for freedom, so I  
don't think it is supported in Trisquel because of requiring proprietary  
firmware (and possibly driver).
So you can either connect to the router via an ethernet cable, or purchase a  
USB wireless adapter. You can buy one guaranteed to work with Linux-libre  
from https://www.thinkpenguin.com/. Look for supported chipsets on h-node:  
https://h-node.org/hardware/catalogue/en
Or do without internet for a while, until you can connect to the router ever  
so often. You can download documentation from the repositories for programs  
when you need it.
