the one thing that keeps me from migrating to trisquel (or any other fsf-approved distribution) is the fact that i use a linksys wireless adapter that is a part of the ralink rt2870 chipset, which to my understanding is a rather common ralink variant.

when i tried migrating to debian, i had to set up the staging drivers (an annoying step, since i was without internet connection, and had to locally install the firmware-ralink package).

when i migrated to arch, i found out that the replacement for it: rt2800usb was merged into the kernel, and as a result, i didn't require any additional setup. when i tried this on the trisquel live disc, i was without internet.

what do?
