@yomiel @dick @RustyCrab Wi-Fi encapsulates Ethernet.

Linux is only a kernel, thus writing "Linux kernel" is both repeating yourself and implies that Linux is more than a kernel.

You just install a decent Wi-Fi card or plug in a decent usb one and problem solved.


GNU Linux-libre doesn't stop you from using proprietary Wi-Fi card software - the user is given the choice to think and decide whether they want to run proprietary peripheral software.

The user has the option to adding the proprietary peripheral software to CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="...." in their Linux .config, or grabbing the tainted Wi-Fi card driver files and overwriting the patched version with the one containing the proprietary software loading machinery (after sufficient time to think and realize that the manufacturer only has malice against them, most users decide that they want to keep their freedom and get a decent Wi-Fi card instead rather than doing that (of course no such choice can happen if the proprietary software is installed without even asking the user like what Debian does)).
