Re: [Trisquel-users] Howto reactivate laptop's NIC (it worked fine and still works under Parabola)

[jason]

The wireless card won't work at all. Intel WiFi stuff needs proprietary junk.  
Linux-libre has that stuff deleted. A bug in Linux-libre prevents the  
firmware from ever being loaded, even if it's there. As to the built-in  
ethernet if it works in Parabola but not Trisquel perhaps the kernel in  
Trisquel is too old? Parabola makes a policy of living on the bleeding edge.  
So try a newer kernel in Trisquel and see if that solves it? Information and
