FYI, the
FSF has a list of wireless cards that will work. Though,
specifically they have open-source firmware. The FSF refers to
them as "hardware which Respects Your Freedom (RSF)". I'm not a
big fan of the FSF (I prefer OSI), but that list is a start. Also, Broadcom wireless cards often
work in Linux. Cruise around Amazon and check for Broadcom
wireless cards for laptops, and then check to see if they work
in Linux. If they don't say, you can always ask using the
question section on the page. On 7/16/17 6:52 PM, Dave Horsfall

Well, unless you're using an ultrabook or some other super-thin laptop.OK, thanks; I'll check it out. It's just a "normal" laptop. |
