That's an old package. Use this one instead: https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/firmware-ath9k-htc/download
Re: [Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
does asking APT to upgrade packages change that package's version? (if it does you can always lock it)
Re: [Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
What is the error? maybe the command is "sudo cp target_firmware/*.fw /lib/firmware/ && exit"
Re: [Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
Hello mason, this is the firmware package i need, yes. As far as i understood, i have to open the synaptic package manager, search for it and install it, but when i open the synaptic package manager i can't find the open-ath9k-htc-firmware package. So i made a search in the internet and found this debian webpage: https://wiki.debian.org/ath9k_htc/open_firmware I tried to follow the instructions and everything went well until it came to point 6. Install the firmware, this command didn't work. So you see, i tried to solve the problem by my own. But nevertheless, i'm also happy with my Trisquel 7 install or i can use it with a lan connection. For me as a newbie it will be better until the next Trisquel version is launched. Thanks
Re: [Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
Is open-ath9k-htc-firmware installed?

Hello again, im using this wifi usb stick: Technoethical TET-N300 adapters are refurbished TP-Link TL-WN821N adapters sold under our own brand, with a guarantee that the TET-N300 version ships with the Atheros AR7010+AR9287 integrated circuits that use free software drivers and firmware; we can make no guarantees that other versions of the TL-WN821N will ship with the same chipset.
Re: [Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
Which usb wifi are you using? name, brand
Re: [Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
Thank you for your quick response ivanB1975, i'm the so called average joe user without good knowledge of bash and the commands, that's my problem. :-(
Re: [Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
Mhm it could be that the modules needed for the wifi are not loaded. You could check the version of the hardware and the needed module and check if it is loaded. I guess you have knowledge of bash and commands correct?

Hello ivanB1975, i gave Trisquel 8 a try on my Thinkpad T61 and i'm very happy with it. My problem is, that i couldn't establish a Wifi Connection with my Wifi USB Stick from Technoetical. In T7 it works out of the box. Maybe you have an idea for me to manage that problem? Thanks
Re: [Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
I am a little bit puzzled by the number of posts coming from the same small number of people complaining about Trisquel 8 is not here and so on. I have it installed on my laptop that I am using in this moment and my main machine at home since quite a while. @ylevental did you try Trisquel 8? If not why not and if not why are you creating so many posts complaining and not even trying? As suggested the best here would be installing Trisquel 8 and testing it, using it. In the process you would also enjoy it, since I am enjoying using it everyday.
Re: [Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
Don't do this. If you really want to do something useful, join the Trisquel development team and help Trisquel.
Re: [Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
Great idea. Since Trisquel 8 already exists, we would start with Trisquel 9 in this respect. I have created a poll.
Re: [Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
Hi ylevental in this old post of mine I give my opinion on how it could be done: https://trisquel.info/it/forum/how-about-survey-measure-how-much-trisquel-user-prefer-trisquel-based-ubuntu-instead-debian
Re: [Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
It might be a good idea to work on an existing idea, like gnuinos (devuan based) for example... I bet the person behind that project could use some help. Still in beta...
[Trisquel-users] That's it, I will recreate Trisquel 8!
It won't be very complex, but at least it will be based on 16.04 and MATE. Details to follow. Hopefully, Trisquel 9 will shortly follow after.
