Maybe it's EyesalineSep 16, 2022

Genuinely curious about this: If you're a Guix user, how are you doing WiFi?

Guix is aggressively pro-Free Software, so it ships with zero proprietary blobs, which means you have no networking out of the box on many machines.

Boosts appreciated.

@potato_lisper I'm not sure what that has to do with the question. Are you using that to eliminate the stock BIOS' hardware allowlist? If so, what hardware are you using?

@ieure sorry, to clarify, my thinkpad has replaced wifi card and bios stack that is compatible with GNU guidlines, so for Guix everything works out of box.

@potato_lisper Okay, thanks. What WiFi card, and how well does it work? Ath9k?

@ieure Yes, this one. It works, it's not the fastest (802.11bgn), but don't have any problem with it.
