Wireless Issues. I217 v netcard

Hi all, first post here. Im Ivan, its nice to meet.  :D

So i finally came to install Debian Jessie stable, and it's good to be back.
My installation is brand new and i have not a wired connection avalaible, so ill have to make things works nowired.

As the title say, my card is an Intel i217-V, which in the beginning was not recognized at all by the OS.
That was normal and expected, because in the installation phase Debian told that i was missing firmware files named rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw.bin.
After a few search i came to download from windows (im in a dual boot system) the following packages: firmware-iwlwifi_0.43_all.deb and firmware-realtek_0.43_all.deb.
I also installed this driver, that seems to fit in for my net card: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/15817/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-PCI-E-Gigabit-Network-Connections-under-Linux-
That made my OS "graphically"recognize the net card and made me able to see avalaible connections trough it. And that, for instance, it is not completely true because at the present day connections appear just for a while, like 3 or 4 minutes after the boot, then totally disappear and i have to reboot to see them again.
I'm able to see my home wifi connection among others, but can't connect to it.

Heres my ifconfig

As i understood there isnt any statement on this about my netcard. Like eth1, 2, etcetera. Am i right?

Im going now to download and install wpasupplicant, but i think problem should be something else, that i can't get (for now); hope to solve this alone and to post the solution soon, but...
with a little help from my friends could go faster!

Thank you for your support and your commitment here,
Ivan
