[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel is my new main OS :3

I am certainly not recommending the installation of proprietary firmware but  
I completely fail to see in what way your "solution" is better. Like you  
wrote: you end up using Mint (and its proprietary software) most of the time.

Hardware on ThinPenguin and Tehnoetic is expensive (but supporting those  
companies is good). You can search for the chipset elsewhere on the Web (like  
the second-hand market) if it is prohibitive for you. I found  
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-WiFi-Wireless-N-Adapter-Wi-Fi-Dongle-6dBi-High-Gain-Antenna-Atheros-Chipset-/121707772019  
(with the AR9271 chipset, that Linux-libre supports) in a matter of seconds.  
It costs AU$ 8,50 = US$ 6.25 (+ shipping costs I guess).
