It got tested on trisquel 8

It works.
Where is the software for the wifi card located in
trisquel?
how do you install free kernel

Thank you.
Hello,
I made a research about the driver RTL8192CU. I found the source code under
GPL 2 license here:
https://code.woboq.org/linux/linux/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/dm.c.html
I'm attaching some pictures from the loaded kernel modules. I would say it is
free software,
Realtek wifi cards started working on a hit or miss basis with the
Linux-libre kernel at least a couple of years ago. I'm surprised you did not
know that Chris. There was some effort to put basic instructions in for them,
and some of them work just fine. I have a Samsung laptop with a
It is possible that very few non-Atheros cards do work without non-free
firmware.
It shouldn't work and if it does it is the result of a bug. The chipset
depends on a driver which includes non-free binary firmware embedded in its
driver. Apparently there may be a license issue as well, although that seems
odd to me, given that the driver itself is licensed presumably and
Nice job.
We should advertise the most commonly available wifi dongle that works with
linux-libre.
We could make the options simple like:
