Like in topic, I want to buy for me wifi USB card to work with Trisquel 6.0 without doing nothing (except putting in USB port, of course). Can someone recommend me any card? It would be nice if it would be available on www.allegro.pl.

There are cheaper cards with the AR9271 chipset from other vendors like
TP-Link (some even mention it in their descriptions). It needs external
free firmware from e.g. http://jxself.org/ath9k-htc/. I don't have any
such card, so I don't recommend any specific model.

AR9271 is just a SoC (System on Chip), not a chipset.

There are some recommendations at http://h-node.org but those apparently cannot be trusted because the vendors swap chips without informing customers, so take those with a grain of salt...

This was already discussed here "many times". Just take a look at my profile page for an answer.
