Hello there,

I'm wondering which usb wifi stick runs with trisquel? I just tried to install trisquel and it seems the only thing that is not working is my usb wifi dongle. I use Panda PAU06 with Xubuntu.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thank you!

TP-LINK TL-WN722N should work.

If you don't want to take any chances, you can support libre hardware and buy from these vendors:

Thanks for making these recommendations!

But please note that none of these devices you recommended (and more specifically none of http://tehnoetic.com/adapters/) is libre-design hardware, just libre-software-compatible hardware.

Compatibility with free/libre software is the first step to having control over our hardware. But we shouldn't assume they're libre hardware too.
