Hello Larry,

thank you very much for your fast answer.

Buy running "modinfo iwlwifi":
filename:
/lib/modules/3.13.0-112-lowlatency/updates/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko
version:        iwlwifi-stack-public:release/LinuxCore5:3714:27076532
license:        GPL
author:         Copyright(c) 2003- 2014 Intel Corporation <ilw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
version:        in-tree:d
description:    Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux
firmware:       iwlwifi-7265-8.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-3160-8.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-8000-8.ucode
srcversion:     6E29C5B96E10698E38DC01F
....

According to the reference
(https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#firmware) I
need  the iwlwifi-2030-6.ucode. I tried to install it previously as a
first step, but It didn't work. I don't understand what I did wrong.

Fernanda.
