[Trisquel-users] Need advice about wireless

[uedibupi]

My laptop's wireless chip is incompatible with Trisquel. I have to use an  
Ethernet cable to connect to the internet, which can be a problem when I have  
to travel. I used to run Windows 7 on this machine. Is it possible to  
physically replace my laptop's wireless chip with a chip that is compatible  
with Trisquel?

I know that ThinkPenguin and other stores sell wireless USB adapters, but I  
don't want to use them.
