Solved the loss of the Trisquel Menu by re-installing the whole system.

Meanwhile, why can't the "Indicator Applet" allow me to input the WiFi - Name - ID - Password, so I can get on the WEB and check for updates to my re-install?

Fixes/suggestions gladly followed . . .

Buffalo - Air Station - Wireless G card works slowly but surely in Windows, so what's next?

Could you post the relevant portion of lspci output in Trisquel and Ubuntu?

If WiFi doesn't work its most likely the driver is not free (and hence Trisquel won't include it or recommend you install it)

Check out this page. Just got my stepfather's laptop working using his suggestions.

Even though the lspci said something about "phy" the apt-get command that didn't have "phy" in it worked. Go figure. His issue was driver was loading but not firmware. So, as other have said, maybe the fw is non-free?
