The Lemote Yeeloong is fully free: bios, ethernet, wireless and so on.
AFAIK it uses PMON firmware: http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/PMON

The wireless has a free driver too.

The only problem now is that it comes with Debian so the FSF is
searching for volunteer to port gNewSense to MIPS architecture.

If you know someone who can do the job, please pass the word and tell
him/her to contact the FSF:  info (chiocciola) fsf.org
