Perhaps you are actually using the AR9271 mini wifi adapter sold by Tehnoetic, an ethical tech shop in Europe (which sells worldwide): FSF's RYF certification announcement: https://www.fsf.org/news/tehnoetic-wireless-usb-adapter-now-fsf-certified-to-respect-your-freedom Product page at tehnoetic.com: https://tehnoetic.com/tehnoetic-wireless-adapter-gnu-linux-libre-tet-n150 Also, Tehnoetic donates 15% of sale profits* to GuixSD when customers choose your distro from the list of free distros of GNU. A total of $13 USD was donated for January and February sales, but I am confident more and more customers will choose GuixSD for the donation. If it's possible, it would certainly be nice to acknowledge Tehnoetic's small contribution to GuixSD in the donations page: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/donate/ I believe my customers would appreciate that too, because for now they have to trust me when I say I donated ;-) Nils Gillmann <[email protected]> wrote: > Would it be okay to put links on the website for not-prefered, > but GNU and FSF endorsed hardware, like having an FAQ to explain > what linux-libre implies and how to get working hardware (list > hnode and a number of sellers there), something like this? I also like this idea. FreedomBox project** at debian.org have inserted links to the RYF adapters sold by Tehnoetic and ThinkPenguin in their FAQ: https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/QuestionsAndAnswers#I.27m_wondering_what_wifi_adapter_to_get.2C_preferably_one_that_runs_with_free_firmware.2C_can_you_recommend_one.3F > It’s certified to work with GuixSD. :-) Firmware is available and > built from source: > > https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages/#ath9k-htc-firmware Thank you for packaging the free firmware in GuixSD! *) Donations from February sales of Tehnoetic wifi adapters: On March 09, Tehnoetic donated €16 EUR to Trisquel project. On March 09, Tehnoetic donated $9 USD to GuixSD project. On March 09, Tehnoetic donated $9 USD to Dragora project. Donations from January sales of Tehnoetic wifi adapters: On February 05, Tehnoetic donated €27 EUR to Trisquel project. On February 05, Tehnoetic donated $4 USD to GuixSD project. **) FreedomBox includes nonfree software, despite the name (which refers to freedom). -- Tiberiu Founder, https://tehnoetic.com
