I just installed Trisquel in an attempt to get a completely free OS, I've used Ubuntu before. But there's no Wifi, so I'm assuming I have no wifi driver.
This is my hardware info:
description: Wireless interface
product: Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak]
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0
logical name: wlan0
version: 34
serial: 08:11:96:c0:ed:28
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=3.19.0-15-generic firmware=18.168.6.1 ip=192.168.1.153 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11abgn
resources: irq:28 memory:f2500000-f2501fff

Anything I can do about this?

Welcome to Trisquel! :)

You can get a Wi-Fi dongle that works with free software. I and many others recommend ThinkPenguin: http://trisquel.info/sites/countclick.php?url=http://libre.thinkpenguin.com

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it; but is this the only way?

Yes, unless you rewrite the Intel Wi-Fi firmware under a free software license and get it merged into Linux. :)

Intel Advanced Blobs WIFI sometimes makes you unable to boot, and if it boots, your computer get lags.

Only Atheros chips will work.

If it's for a laptop I would go for the small one (wireless n). I use the bigger one (wireless n) for my desktop. ThinkPenguin are based in the USA. If you want to order from Europe instead, check out tehnoetic.

ThinkPenguin has UK operation and a US operation. Either way your set.
