In the beginning, the problem was inability to write an .iso to a USB
stick or to use Google. Since then, things seem to have evolved. There
are too many posts in this thread to read each one of yours to see what
is currently the problem, and you have just chosen to rant in this post
rather than explaining (again, if necessary) exactly what the current
sticking point is.
If it's user-installed non-free firmware for network interfaces, that is
the state of manufacturing today: we're back to Winmodems and you're
stuck with it. I have one of the last netbooks to come with an Ethernet
port. A USB-Ethernet widget is quite useful to have around these days.
