The card will either be soldered or be inserted into a slot much like a
PCI card.=C2=A0 It sometimes has its own area on the outside of the case; otherwise it's easy to find because the antennas that connect to it
usually go to the monitor or other corners of the case.

Does the kernel linux support multi USB port adapters?=C2=A0 I've been<= br> meaning to try.

I'm not saying this is ideal.=C2=A0 I have only two USB ports on my C20= 1
Chromebook.=C2=A0 I use a Wifi dongle or pair my Replicant phone for Intern= et
access, leaving me with only one free port, which usually houses my
Nitrokey.=C2=A0 If I need more ports, I'll need an adapter.=C2=A0 Somet= imes such
laptops come with {,Micro}SD card readers (mine does), which is also an
alternative to a flash drive.

Many of us are used to having to make sacrifices for freedom.=C2=A0 Hopeful= ly
one day this won't be necessary.
