The Technoethical N450 Dual Band (TET-N450DB) card is based on the Atheros AR9380 integrated circuit and works with the free driver ath9k (GNU GPL v2). Thus you can use it with a completely free GNU/Linux distribution, which has the kernel Linux-libre, clean of the nonfree blobs from Linux. Using the latest versions of the kernel (3.0 or later), the card works out of the box.

Because the driver is free, you can study it and check what exactly it's doing. Moreover, you can modify the way the card works, so it can be an important resource for educational experiments or for your business. With the Technoethical N450DB Wireless miniPCIe card, your are in control of your own computer for connecting to Wi-Fi networks too.

Buy it for your laptop! You have a laptop with a full-size Wi-Fi card which doesn't work with free software, it's broken or has only two antenna connectors, while your laptop has 3 internal antennas. Then, this Wi-FI card is for you! Technoethical laptops running GNU Boot (or legacy Libreboot) are compatible with the Technoethical N450DB Wi-Fi card. If your laptop only supports half-size mini PCI cards, then you should consider the Technoethical N300DB.

Technoethical donates parts of its income to different free software projects. We list the donations on the page Technoethical donations.

This is a refurbished card produced by Atheros, and sold by Technoethical under its own brand, as a warranty that the integrated circuit works with free software.
