Are there any modern wifi cards that work with Linux and have 100% FOSS drivers (no proprietary binary blobs)?

I was thinking of getting a wifi card like that, but can’t seem to find any.

Yeah but to the degree that they need the firmware running on each chip in the device to be a FOSS chip firmware?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
