Sorry guys, been working extra long hours on the field.
Here is the latest news, as of today.
After explaining, the lack of full cooperation, That certain companies
consider those drivers and firmware to be theirs, and sometimes there is no
support TO THE GNU/linux COMMUNITY: hes reply was: "DO WHAT IS BEST FOR
ME".
My friend told me, since his laptop is old , he wishes not to spend any
money.
Honestly, I sence, he is getting a bit hesitant about it. I got to finish
the project, no deadline yet, but the body gestures and eyes, do speak a
million words.
Dammit, I just order a card for myself, I wish I could bought him one...I
got no more money to spare, until the end of the month.
I have an idea:
I will try to persuade him to purchase a new WiFi card with the idea that
we will share the cost of purchase.
Looking. at the worst case scenario, If he say's NO! What other Linux distro
will you recommend?

Trisquel Live CD testing.
The live CD boot=s up well and it works on the nick card, but the WiFi is
totally screw. It registers the WiFi mac address, but the functionality is
zero to nothing.

Gracias for the hints, I was lost for a moment in finding the replacement
free software.

"I wish you could send me my WiFi PCI card, that I order" ASAP so I could
show him!
Just kidding Christ.

Everyone's suggestions are great, remember, it is my friends property, and he
has the final word.
Respectfully
