I had to double-check to make sure this was actually a reply to my
post, as I don't remember criticizing anybody (although I did make a
fool of myself by not proof-reading - "bought" vs "brought").
Sorry, I don't know any Chris (or any employee at ThinkPenguin for
that matter), and I don't use Trisquel. If you do and you find Chris
helpful, great stuff! But that's quite irrelevant to what I posted. I
am simply suggesting caution when purchasing a wifi module from
ThinkPenguin without doing research first.
If you love the GPL, would you really be satisfied recommending a
solution that is non-free because you happen to know the seller? What
if it was you who purchased the wifi module with broken Bluetooth
based on the suggestion of people on this list?
