Trisquel: wifi problem
Hello!
Excuse my English, please — this is not my native language, I am using a translation program.
I really liked Trisquel, but I have a problem with it: it does not see my wifi (Trisquel, Trisquel Mini and Triskel).
I have tested many Linux distributions and this kind of misunderstanding only happened with Trisquel.
Please tell me how to solve this problem?
Thanks!
Your wifi chip probably uses proprietary firmware. The solution is to replace it with an ath9k chip, or use an ath9k_htc USB adapter (or just use Ethernet).
Are you saying that twenty different Linux distributions see the proprietary chip of my old laptop, which recently turned 11 years old, and only Trisquel does not? How is this possible?
Trisquel is a libre GNU/Linux distribution. Wifi firmware is mostly proprietary, thus it is removed and not included in Trisquel.
