Greetings ladies and gentlemen.
I've bought the USB wifi adapter from Thinkpenguin and I can't make it work.
https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-usb-adapter-gnu-linux-tpe-n150usb
I have the carl driver installed in the system:
user@debian:/lib/firmware$ ls
av7110 cis isci usbdux_firmware.bin
b43 dsp56k keyspan_pda usbduxsigma_firmware.bin
carl9170-1.fw hp usbduxfast_firmware.bin
I think that the system detects the device in the USB:
root@debian:/lib/firmware# lsusb

I'm trying this on Debian 7 but I've used the livecd of Trisquel 6 to test it
and I couldn't even list the wireless networks. In Trisquel 6 I could see
carl9170.fw in lib/firmware/.
¿What am I doing wrong?
I don't know if this helps but.
