The rtl8191su does depend on non-free firmware so it definitely will not work with Trisquel. The chipsets that will work are primarily the rtl8187b and rtl8187l. There is also an ar9170 that I don't recommend. We sell these cards and have thoroughly researched the best chipsets. We use them with Trisquel in-house.

It is unlikely you can get them locally and few places online either. We import them from Taiwan and I know both the rtl8187b and ar9170 chipsets are in very very few adapters any more. What adapters did have them have or are being discontinued.

My advise is to check out the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source_wireless_drivers wikipedia article ] on wireless chipsets.
