Subject: Re: [Trisquel-users] Do MSi DRM their Wifi? Anyone using an
MSi U135DX?

You could ask your friend to let you test a Trisquel live CD on it,
that would give you the answer.
Thanks, yes, as I said I'm testing it on Monday.
Side note: I suspect you're wondering about whether the wifi works
without nonfree software, rather than whether or not it has DRM (I'm
not aware of any DRM in wifi cards).
Not quite. The price is low enough for me to consider replacing the
PCI-e Wifi card with a free software compatible one if it doesn't
work. However, some laptop manufacturers put DRM in their BIOSes
which locks the computer to only WiFi cards they make and so I
wouldn't be able to do that. 'DRM the WiFi' was shorthand for this.
Thanks again.
