Which Replicant-compatible device do you have?

Would you tell me the few commands? I have given up installing Replicant
because it seemed not such easy.

What would you say is a fair price for a librebooted X200? I paid 230 USD
for one on eBay, which is more than the hardware
Another option is get the first edition of the TP-LINK TL-WN722N (yeah, with
the old logo), which haves the Atheros AR9271 firmware. I'm using it and
Trisquel alongside Parabola works pretty well with it (Debian in their main
branch doesn't include the ath9k_htc and ath9k firmware files).
The solution at the end of the thread in the link below makes the device
KINDA work and I believe its a free driver as well.
rtl8188eufw.bin, in the GitHub repository, is a binary, as the extension
tells. It is the proprietary firmware we were writing to you about.

Now the OS is booting fine, but after the login the system is frozen at 90%
of my efforts.
I do not understand what that means. Anyway, reading (with journalctl) the
logs right before the freeze may help to diagnose the problem.
libreboot is almost a dead project, which hasn't received meaningful updates
for a long time. See how many devices supported by coreboot and how few
supported by libreboot?
It is true that coreboot can have binary blobs. It is also true that coreboot
can have no blobs. For 4-series chipset
Why do you use coreboot instead of libreboot? Is is better?
You confused "driver" with "firmware". Practically, most WLAN cards (Intel,
Realtek, etc.) do have free/libre drivers. But they won't work without
non-free firmware. The "driver" you tried to install is actually a firmware
loader, so the "driver" may be free/libre, but the firmware is not.
