Hi Community,
I'm not quite a full powered wizard, but I'm determined to make the jump to free-software.
So far, I've been able to install Trisquel 6.0 on my Ductbook Air (a Macbook Air with Ductape over the Apple)—but wireless did not join the celebration.
So I purchased the small Think Pinguin Wireless USB Adapter, TPE-N150USB.
The adapter did not "plug and play" so I fallowed the instructions here for Trisquel 6.0, installing htc_9271.fw and htc_7010.fw:

However, the wireless still isn't working. Any ideas? Help is appreciated!
Your system is updated?
Go to Terminal and type this:
uname -aand paste here.
Hi, I solved this problem about two weeks back as I had a Netgear WNA1100 with the same issue. I'll send you the link I used for the driver.

icarolongo, here it is:
Linux focus 3.2.0-38-generic-pae #0trisquel1 SMP Wed Feb 27 18:10:11 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linuxsmiley, could you post the link here?
Update your system. System Settings > Update Manager or via Terminal.
Terminal:
sudo apt-get updateI am a member!
One problem, my laptop isn't connected to the internet and I don't have an Ethernet port. Is there a way to do the update with out a direct connection from inside Trisquel?
Could download the update on another set-up and then transfer it to Trisquel via a USB drive?
I never tried. But probably you can do.
Here the link of Linux-libre 3.2.0-52:
http://us.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-3.2.0-52-generic_3.2.0-52.78+6.0trisquel1_amd64.deb
After in the Terminal:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Or you can try reinstall Trisquel with this updated iso image (Trisquel 6.0.1):
http://devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/trisquel_6.0.1_amd64.iso (700MB - CD/flash drive)
http://devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/trisquel_6.0.1-i18n_amd64.iso (1.2GB - DVD/flash drive)
The kernel in this iso image support the firmware. Is the easy way. :-)

I went the re-installation route with 6.0.1, and that did it!
I'm up and running with wireless! Thank you!
I'm still breaking the chains from my prior OS and habits. I know it will be a gradual process. I may have some questions about installing software soon—and, if so, perhaps it would be best to start a new thread.
Thanks again for the support!

You are running an old kernel version (3.2). You might want to install the latest linux-libre kernel (3.12). It might have the driver you need. You can find it here: http://jxself.org/linux-libre/
Here are short instructions on how to do it. Please, see the link for detailed instructions.
deb http://jxself.org/repo/freesh/ freesh main
wget http://jxself.org/repo/freesh/archive-key.asc
sudo apt-key add archive-key.asc
sudo aptitude update
After these steps you need to install the kernel you want (32-bit/64-bit):
sudo apt-get install linux-libre64 OR
sudo apt-get install linux-libre32
Reboot and you have the latest kernel.
