 I download the driver iwlwifi-3160-8.ucode, and cp it into /lib/firmware.

 I have checked the hotplug, it was chosen in kernel-config. What's more , 
 my USB can be recognized easily.
 
 Any suggestion?

You could 'apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi' if you have non-free
enabled in sources.list.  That has always worked for me.  I've never
tried the manual firmware download like you did, so I'm not sure if
you've done something wrong there or not.
