I recently installed Trisquel on my ThinkPad x60. Since the wifi card is
nonfree and will not work with Trisquel, I got a USB wifi adapter from
ThinkPenguin. I tested it while running Trisquel from a USB drive without
installing, and Trisquel recognized the device immediately and I was able to
connect to wifi no problem. However, after installation Trisquel no longer
detects the device and I cannot use wifi. While booting, a "free firmware not
found" error repeats for several minutes that from looking at past threads
appears to refer to the wifi card, so perhaps that is related. Is there
something additional I need to do after installation so that the USB adapter
works as it did while running live from USB drive? Thanks!
