Re: [Trisquel-users] Wi-Fi is still not connecting

[dahunt]

I find use of the TP usb wifi radio to be plug-and-play with Trisquel7, on a  
Toshiba Satellite laptop, which also has the Intel wifi thing, known not to  
be supported by software libre.  One minor annoyance, though:  If I boot or  
awaken this machine, with the wifi switched on and the usb not plugged in,  
the system will try to activate the intel, causing slow-down and, presumably,  
a huge log of the situation.  From another post, I learned of blacklisting  
the offending module; will try this.  Meanwhile, it is enough to start with  
the front panel wifi switch off, and the dongle unplugged.  Once the system  
is going, I insert the dongle, and throw the switch, and all's well.
