Well may be, but I insist in my .trinity tree there is no file which contains the wifi configuration. I made a grep for example for the wifi network which I am connected to. Greping the name for example No result.

I seem to be in a position of a lack of ammo. My local network is all fixed addressing via a common /etc/hosts file, with the individual machine being located in that file by its name.
So the bottom line is that the name of the machine, and its address are in the /etc/hosts file. And the rest of it, includeing the duplicated address, is in /etc/networking/interfaces. With an /etc/resolv.conf set to hosts,dns, any name that is not in the hosts file, that query is sent to the gateway device, which in this case is running a small cacheing nameserver, and it that doesn't hit, its sent on to my ISP's dns servers. All transparent to me.
But, anything that looks or acts like network manager has been removed from my system. So any comments I might make about NM should be taken as the best swag* I can make based on 18 years of running linux.
*swag, a Scientific Wild Ass Guess.
