Estou tentando me livrar de todos os softwares não-livres (usando debian jessie) e a última coisa que resta é firmware-realtek. Porque você sabe, eu quero que meu ethernet funcione. Existe alguma maneira de obter alguma funcionalidade com software livre? Não precisa funcionar bem, só precisa funcionar. Eu encontrei alguns softwares não-livres que têm substitutos parciais gratuitos, como o GNU Gnash com o Flash Player. Não é totalmente engenharia reversa, mas é melhor que nada. Hardware relevante:
