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@devel.trisquel.info) (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 distr=
o.

Fernanda.
