Hello everybody, I hope you all are good.
I have this problem that I told in the title but let me contextualize it
first if you don't mind:
I have bought an lenono thinkpad x220, which I like a lot. I installed
Trisquel in it but I found that the wireless wouldn't work. Somebody has told
me that if I bought an external wifi adapter I could resolve my wifi problem
in the lenovo thinkpad x220 so I bought this one on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/272519323237?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Due to my responsabilities (job, family, music and things) I only find time
yesterday to try this item that I bought.But it doesn't automatically connect
to wifi, nor first of all can see it instantly in the system.
When I connect the pen I note some charge on the system, and the top command
shows this process:
→systemd-udevd
consuming almost 65% of the processor time.
When I do lsusb there is this entrance:
→Bus 002 Device 004: ID xxxxxxx D-Link System DWA-140 ...
I've done some research and find this page (which I don't know if it applies
here in Trisquel, because ubuntu is not free!):
https://askubuntu.com/questions/319280/problems-with-d-link-usb-wifi-adapter#319592
have done the command:
→ls /lib/firmware | grep carl
and it shows:
→carl9170-1.fw
when I try to do the next step:
→sudo apt-get install linux-firmware
It doesn't find nothing, maybe because it is not free nor part of the repos.
So I research again, this time on Trisquel forum and find this thread:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/help-thinkpenguin-wireless-usb-adapter-n
And it is said to get the firmware frome.g. http://jxself.org/ath9k-htc/, but
the page is no more.
So this is my position right now: kind of stuck.
I know I have to get the ath9k-htc firmware... where did I find it and how I
install it? This will resolve my wireless problem? have you done this steps
too? And first of all this firmware is free???
If anyone of you could lend me a hand on this It would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance and have patient on me please. Thanks again!
