There are some manufacturers stating what chipsets are used. TP-Link has devices with Atheros chipsets, but the USB ones won't work due to the firmware (ath9k_htc). http://libre.thinkpenguin.com/ sells devices working with Trisquel, they will work with gNewSense unless the drivers are too old. I never bought From them (preferring TP-Link PCI wifi cards which are easy to buy with chipsets supported by ath5k or ath9k), there are many good opinions on Trisquel forums. > Are these the only ones which do not require non-free firmware/drivers? > driver/firmware: > - ath5k > - ath9k > - rtl8187 > - rt2500 Probably yes. There are some old Broadcom chips with reverse engineered firmware, it doesn't work with newer revisions of them.
