I was thinking of getting a wifi card like that, but can't seem to find any.

You could always get an Ethernet-connected AP. This will allow you to use the latest WiFi but not compromise your OS.

That's the beautiful thing - it doesn't matter.

some people would prefer to only use FOSS software and hardware, though

[-] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Good luck with that. What switch are you going to run? What access point what gateway for your ISP.

[-] refalo@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

pretty much any open source hardware can do all of those things... not sure what you're trying to say

[-] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah but to the degree that they need the firmware running on each chip in the device to be a FOSS chip firmware?

If you are going that route just use vfio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
