username@hostname:~$ lsmod|grep iwl iwlwifi 294912 0 cfg80211 970752 1 iwlwifi username@hostname:~$ But you are right. After installing the package firmware-iwlwifi, the command "ip link show" displays the name of the wireless interface. (I thought I had installed firmware-iwlwifi but I was wrong. In fact I installed it on my sister's newer computer but not on this one.) Thanks for your reply.
