[Fsuk-manchester] FSF-certified USB Wi-Fi adapter

[Bob Ham]

Hi all,

Apparently the FSF has now certified a USB Wi-Fi dongle in their
Respects Your Freedom program:

This is great news; the only other bit of hardware that's been certified
is a 3D printer.  Apparently, Think Penguin worked with some sympathetic
engineers in Qualcomm who pushed to get the firmware released.  Win! :-)

Think Penguin is a company that makes laptops intended to work with Free
System Distributions (some may recall I mentioned them in my talk on a
100% free software laptop).

Here's the actual dongle, the TPE-N150USB based on the Atheros AR9271
chipset:
