The firmware for that Wifi card is non-free. Don't hold your breath and go buy a replacing card that is supported (or a USB adapter). You can buy it at ThinkPenguin's. It is the only reseller I am aware of that guarantees that all the hardware it sells works with Linux-libre (hence any 100% free GNU/Linux distributions such as Trisquel): http://libre.thinkpenguin.com/

By using the link I gave you, 25% of the benefits on your purchase are donated to the Trisquel project. :-)

You can also search for compatible devices elsewhere but it is hard because a same model can sometimes have its chipset (what matters) change over time. However you can find second-hand devices where the seller specifies the chipset. I recently bought this USB adapter and you can hope the chipset did not change in between: http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?categoryid=243&model=TL-WN722N
