[blag-whereto] wireless connections

[Jean-Luc Maillot]

Your wifi card needs a non-free firmware; so it'll not work with a kernel linux-libre. You need to use a wifi USB stick that runs with free-software or install a basic kernel from fedora repo.
When you say you installed blag, what is the release? because there is no new release since 140k.
