Hello Larry, thank you very much for your response. I'm using "Trisquel 7.0 LTS Belenos" since a few days. My kernel version is acoording to "uname -r" : "3.13.0-112-lowlatency". By "lspci --n"n I have found : "01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 [8086:0887] (rev c4)". There is no evidence of iwlwifi by running" lsmod". According to "dmesg | less", I've found: "Linux version 3.13.0-112-lowlatency (pbuilder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.8.4 (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3) ) #159+7.0trisquel2 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 13 13:58:08 UTC 2017 (Ubuntu 3.13.0-112.159+7.0trisquel2-lowlatency 3.13.11-ckt39-gnu)", I think it could clarify a little more. But I can't see more relevant issue given by this command. I don't know if the problem is to be solved. Maybe I should try a new distro.
