This wifi card seems to work with other laptops, but when tested on Compaq Presario CQ60-207EO with Trisquel 5.5 it did not work even though it was revision 01.
Revision 01 tested to work with Trisquel 5.5 on Eee PC 4G and MSI EX710-049NE.
This wifi card is recognized as an ethernet card by lspci for some reason.
