Could you open a terminal, type 'lspci' and show us the output? We will then see the exact hardware you have. It is quite probable that Linux-libre (Trisquel's kernel) does not support your Wifi chipset. You could then buy an adapter from ThinkPenguin ( http://libre.thinkpenguin.com ) or Tehnoetic ( http://tehnoetic.com ), which are the only two vendor that guarantee that all their hardware works with Linux-libre. As for the Ethernet connection, it is quite surprising that it does not work...

Please based on this information, there is a chance to use it WI-FI or not?

No, that wifi card requires nonfree firmware. You should get a USB wifi adaptor from Thinkpenguin or Tehnoetic.

or an atheros wifi adapter series AR9xxx or AR5xxx (very cheap on ebay) and open your laptop and replace your RT2790 with one of those.
