These wifi dongles are the Unex DNUA-93F, which uses the AR9271 (atheros) chipset, supported by
the free <i>ath9k_htc</i> driver in the Linux kernel. They work in <i>linux-libre</i> too.

+ <h2>Workaround?</h2>
+ <p>
+ It's possible on coreboot systems to permanently disable (break) hardware, by modifying the devicetree accordingly.
+ The devicetree is a part of the coreboot source for any system, that defines which hardware exists in the system.
+ There are usually other ways too.

+ TODO for the libreboot project: *break* the onboard wifi chip, by patching coreboot-libre to render
+ the built-in WiFi unusable. This will lessen the temptation for users to use it.
