Hi, I've spent a couple of days fighting with this, so, I hope someone could
lend me a hand...
Abstract:
Tried to use the laptop's wireless card installing its firmware from a
Debian's package; it doesn't work at all; purged that package and removed the
modules, but after reboot the NIC stoped working (but it works if I boot a
LiveUSB of Parabola, just that not as 'eth0' but as 'enp6s0').
This is the actual situation:

The NIC used to work just fine. But now I can't make it connect.
Strangely, if I boot with Parabola's LiveCD, I get:

And the NIC works just fine (I'm using it right now) with the same modules,
so: How can I make the NIC work again under Trisquel?
Thanks a lot.
