Ronmamita, which computer are you using? Please post brand, model, type etc. Mason could be right, and if so it's just a matter of replacing the network card.

Since there are many other options to leave Microsoft than Trisquel, I imagine that you approve with the free software philosophy. If that is the case, I would like to lead you attention to libreboot. You may already know this, but if not, please be aware, that before a computer starts the operating system, another piece of software is run. On most computers this is proprietary software, i.e. untrustworthy as Windows, iOX etc.

On a number of computers this software can be replaced with free software. You can read more here: libreboot.org. Not all is readable for non-techies (including myself), but you can read more other places. If you possess the knowledge and/or patience and will - and for some machines the right equipment - you can replace it yourself.

These companies can help you with 100% free computers:

Europe:

https://store.vikings.net/libre-friendly-hardware (Germany)
https://tehnoetic.com/ (aka. Technoethic, Romania - they have the largest variety, including phones)

(To my knowledge, computers from ThinPenguin are not 100% free, though all their accessories are)
