I think Gluglug did this at least for the wireless card:
"""
Upgraded with an 802.11n wireless card (Atheros AR5B95, AR9285 chipset),
ensuring full compatibility with free drivers in Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre.

The wireless card is one of the few pieces of hardware on my Lenovo X60 and T61
that doesn't have free software drivers available. Seems like Gluglug swapped it
out with an Atheros card to fix that.
