Re: [Trisquel-users] Now using Beta, released 12-November

[chris]

Yea- it definitely seems to be coming along. It looks good, installs without  
issue, and has got the hardware support we want. Even the AR9170 chipset is  
working out of the box which was one of our concerns I have (it's the only  
USB N chipset with a free driver at the moment).

The other one was USB dial-up modems. I think there is a bug where the user  
doesn't have permission to dial. I should probably add this to the list of  
things to fix. I'm not sure how many if anyone is using the dial-up still. We  
do sell a free software friendly dial-up modem though which works out of the  
box. The only issue is that most distributions don't include the dialer  
software itself. Trisquel does although has a bug where you have to go in and  
add permissions so users can actually dial out. Of course depending on your  
perspective this may not be a bug. Although if it isn't then it should  
probably prompt users for a password like the network applet does.
