I've the old problem with the Intel wifi card

And removing the Intel Wifi card on a laptop would be tedious so I would prefer an easier path

Is it just about creating partitions?

No, it is about the loop generated by the driver of the Intel wifi card who tries to load himself indefinitely but without success because the linux libre kernel lack the proprietary firmware to startup it, so the whole system is heavy slowed down by this malfunction and the logs files in few days fill the / partition.

However I've found that blacklisting the driver works

sudo modprob -r iwl3945

stop this malfunction until the next reboot, so now I've to impose this bash command to be executed at every start up.

I find this sweeter than remove the Intel wifi card from a laptop :)

Blacklisting is easy: Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist with your favorite text editor (requires root) and add one line:

blacklist iwl3945

Problem solved, but I've edited /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf!!!

It works and it's even better than before, the distro now it's really fast, maybe because before the problem was never completely solved.

Thanks jxself!!!

Often it's not too hard to remove the wifi card either.

I don't know how hard it is but I know that the more freedom we want to reach the easier and out of the box the experience should be. That is the only reason for which I've chosen Trisquel instead of the others recommended distros because freedom should be for everyone, not only for nerds, geeks and hackers, this will enhance the freedom of everyone!

I've reinstalled yesterday Trisquel mini for resizing the partitions and now
I've the old problem with the Intel wifi card :(
The system is slow and the / partition will soon be full of logs about
"Couldn't find non free firmware"

I remember to have solved the problem with an upgrading so I've typed sudo
apt-get upgrade and it works until I've launched synaptic package manager
clicked on mark all upgrade and start another process of upgrading and from
then the problem restarted!!!

For freeing a lot of space from / I've deleted the kern.log file and rebooted
the system and after this operation strangely the problem stopped (that's
very weird) however when I've noticed that another file called syslog.1
occupied 11GB I've deleted it too rebooted the system and from then the
problem restarted for the second time... that's sad:(
I've noticed that kern.log has been recreated but not syslog.1 (that's
strange too)

Could you help me please?

jxself advised to blacklist the kernel module... but I don't know how to
accomplish that...
