Beschreibung:
The wifi doesn't work with the original 6.0.1 install, however, with a wifi usb, you can upgrade the kernel through the backports repository of trisquel and after that, the wifi will work. That's because the older version of the kernel that ships with trisquel doesn't have the updated free driver that's needed for the wifi chipset. One note: suspend works, but closing and reopening the laptop lid doesn't. The screen goes black, and you have to restart because you can't bring the lock screen back.
