And thanks for your replay :)

I think that the origin of the issue is in the 'strstr' function. Have a
look at the 'scan_dim' method. This method runs 'backend 8' and edits
the textual output in a file named 'output'. It also returns an integer
'cont' (the number of available active wifis).

At the end of this method I can free *cad1; I also can free *cad2...;
*But i can't free both pointers*. Maybe the have common memory
addresses? I think so.

Here is the new code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int N;
int scan_dim();
void scan_buffer (char **ptr, char *command, char *name, char *str1,
char *str2);

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int i;
char **_essid, **_address, **_quality;

N=scan_dim();

_essid = (char**)malloc(N*sizeof(char*));
if(!_essid) {printf("Fallo de asignación de memoria\n"); exit(-1);}

_address = (char**)malloc(N*sizeof(char*));
if(!_address) {printf("Fallo de asignación de memoria\n"); exit(-1);}

_quality = (char**)malloc(N*sizeof(char*));
if(!_quality) {printf("Fallo de asignación de memoria\n"); exit(-1);}

scan_buffer (_essid, "/usr/lib/netman/bin/backend 8", "ESSID:",
"\"", "\n");
scan_buffer (_quality, "/usr/lib/netman/bin/backend 8", "Quality=",
"=" , "Signal level");
scan_buffer (_address, "/usr/lib/netman/bin/backend 8", "Address:", "
" , "\n");

   for(i=0; i<N; i++)
   {
     printf("%s\n", _essid[i]);
     free(_essid[i]);
   }


   for(i=0; i<N; i++)
   {
     printf("%s\n", _address[i]);
     free(_address[i]);
   }


   for(i=0; i<N; i++)
   {
     printf("%s\n", _quality[i]);
     free(_quality[i]);
   }


char **num, **denom;

   num = (char**)malloc(N*sizeof(char*));
   if(!num) {printf("Fallo de asignación de memoria\n"); exit(-1);}
   for(i=0; i<N; i++)
   {
     num[i] = (char*)malloc(3*sizeof(char));
     if(!num[i]) {printf("Fallo de asignación de memoria\n");
                  exit(-1);
                 }
