And certainly not with debian since debian hasn't got netctl. I forgot
one command in my last post. This is the first one to do after installing
dialog and iw and wpa_supplicant since netcal comes pre-installed. The
correct order of commands is: wifi-menu -o netctl list netctl enable
network-string-returned-by-netctl-list. On Thu, 29 Oct 2015, Doug wrote:

It seems to me that with respect to Wi-Fi, Debian has progressed beyond

And I think that the same can be said of web cams. Nowadays, most

Most commonly used apparatus might 'just work', but certainly not with free
software. If OP wants to buy a new USB wifi adapter anyway, he/she might as
well get one which respects their freedom.
A few months ago I bought a Pyle surveilance-type camera. Supposed to
be controllable by wireless from the computer. When I got it, I discovered
it only has drivers for Windows. I don't think there is any software for it
for
Linux, free or otherwise.
(If anybody know of such, please let me know! I am not averse to paying
for it, if it is reasonable.)
