[p]Note: This wifi card is recognized as an ethernet card by lspci for some reason (2012, up to Trisquel 8 2018).[/p] 2018). On the Parabola test the card is attached on PCI-E not PCI, lspci and hwinfo corectly reference it. This one works without any problems.[/p]

[h1]Specific issue[/h1]
[p]This wifi card seems to work with other laptops, but when tested on [a]http://h-node.org/notebooks/view/en/815/Presario-CQ60-207EO/1/1/undef/undef/undef/undef/undef/undef/undef/undef|Compaq Presario CQ60-207EO[/a] with Trisquel 5.5 it did not work even though it was revision 01.[/p]

[p]Revision 01 tested to work with Trisquel 5.5 on Eee PC 4G and MSI EX710-049NE, as well as a 2006 Mac Mini in Trisquel 6.0.[/p]
