Honestly, though I'm using a TP USB wifi radio in a Toshiba laptop with an Intel wifi build in, I don't feel like I've gained much, if anything, from this purchase. I could run something like Ubuntu Mate, and have the same set of free apps. If I did this, and never used that ugly Software

Hi! I am in the same situation! Unfortunately, Intel wifi cards don't have free drivers so you'll have to go with a USB dongle. I myself got one. Have a look on h-node if you can't afford a ThinkPenguin dongle, some models hardly cost anything and work with Trisquel out of the box. Let me
