Yes, I know it. Almost all Broadblob cards need blobs. Lenovo Thinkpads
implements whitelist DRM.
Proprietary driver for any recent Broadcomm wireless card.
Get Atheros of some kind, but keep in mind some manufacturers implement BIOS
whitelist of cards so your computer might fail to boot of you violate the
whitelist.
Confirmed, Broadblob working without blob.
With Trisquel7-64, default kernel, working out of the box.

The text in the openfwwf readme continues
"While it might work with later core revisions as well, their RF behaviour is
not validated and might damage the hardware or violate frequency spectrum
regulations."
So if it's not rev 1, there could be issues. Having said that I would believe
it
Mine is BCM4311, WI1 chip1: Broadcom BCM4311. From iMac5,2 1195. Shout it
work with Trisquel out of the box? Or should I replace it directly with
Atheros one?
Only some very old as far as I know using openfwwf:
Broadcom AirForce wlan chipsets:
* BCM4306
* BCM4311 revision 1
* BCM4318
* BCM4320
It says, that some Broadblobs work without non-free firmwares:

Afaik no broadcom works at all.
