Hey you guys helped me out with my previous wireless driver, so I was hoping that you guys could help me out with installing the driver on my AR5B91 inside my trisquel 6.0.1 installation, any help would be appreciated!

It should probably work out of the box. One of two things. Either the system has an on/off button (check the special function keys at the top; they are F1-F12, press FN + the one with a wifi symbol to turn on/off) or a physical on/off switch somewhere on the laptop. This or the on/off button is software controlled and doesn't work and it's off by default. You may have trouble getting a USB wifi adapter to work too if this is the case.
My company has some documentation on it here:

You might be able to get it working via above instruction. There is a trick to force it on via tape... but its a pain and not really a good workable solution.
Best thing to do is switch laptops and pay attention to what your buying the next time around.
