If possible, replace the built-in Broadcom card with an Atheros ath5k/9k (but not Qualcomm Atheros ath10k), then you no longer need to load non-free firmware. If not possible (probably because of "white-list" restrictions of the firmware), then purchase one ath9k_htc USB WLAN adapter. It

Hello all! I am relatively new to the free software scene, and eager to jump in with my first free OS! While testing Trisquel, however, I noticed that my laptop's wireless internet connection was not functioning. I am using a Toshiba Satellite L55-C5272, and after doing some research around
