Hello boyd, What's the exact make and model of the wireless card? Is it integrated? > Obviously, you know that what you specified is the chipset for that NIC. >
How can I find it? lspci shows the following output. The wireless card is inside the Toshiba satellite laptop. Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) I ask because one of the great things about the GNU World is that while one > project maybe non-free there may or may not be other Free projects for the > same thing; i.e. project forking or driver compiling.

The current kernel (2.6.35-28) will detect that.

I mean, will 3945ABG work with any previous versions of Trisquel (or linux-libre kernel) ? Please help. Thanks, Jos Collin
