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.
Kernel 3.13 is quite old; however according to https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#firmware, the driver for the 2230 has been in the kernel since version 3.2. That reference also tells you what firmware is needed.
To resolve this, first check that the driver is available. If the command "modinfo iwlwifi" returns an ERROR, then your kernel configuration does not contain the driver. You will also need iwldvm to be configured.
