I bought the Netgear WN111v2 and according to https://h-node.org/wifi/view/en/1492 it should work with free software only. But it seems that i have to install additional software, which i cant because i have no net access. Any ideas? How can i install this device?

An additional problem is that i only have terminal access. So i can not see if the device works via GUI...

See with 'lsusb' whether the chipset is really AR9170.

for the record: if signal strengh is to weak, strange errors can occur. now i have a better signal but connection still drops from time to time. strangely the connection disappears in trisquel so i have to disable and re-enable wi-fi to get connected again, maybe, otherwise i have to restart. even more strangely is that I connect to a range extender which should give a solid connection.
