- Do you have a firewall installed on the tablet, and if so have you allowed CC to make outgoing connections on both TCP and UDP?

I didn't set up any firewall on the computer, nor on the tablet. If one is running on either device, I'm not aware of it. |
Some linux installations install a firewall for you that blocks most incoming connections. Usually you can see the firewall in one of the "System management" functions.

I'm not sure what SMART_DEVICE_APP refers to.
|
It is the internal name of the calibre "device driver" that talks to wireless devices. When running device debug you will see a block of information near the bottom giving a lot of information about the IP address configuration. When managing plugins it is the name of the plugin to configure.
When I wrote "Preferences / ...." I was describing the chain of "clicks" in calibre to get to a particular function.

If it's the tablet, I had to change the IP adress to the more similar one displayed in Calibre, but that didn't change anything.

It is not the tablet.
However, you mention "changing" the IP address. Do you mean you entered an IP address in CC's Wireless Connection setup? That is where you enter the IP address of the machine running calibre. It must be similar to both the IP address of the tablet and the IP address of the machine running calibre. For example, if the tablet has an IP address 192.168.0.33 then you must use a calibre IP address beginning with 192.168.0

I don't think so. How can I tell?

You must look at the configuration of the router.

I'm afraid this is like Chinese for me. 
|
That refers to the frequency of the WiFi signal. There are two: 5Ghz and 2.4 Ghz. Your router will support one or both of them. You must look at your router to see which you have.

What is the linux box? The linux computer? or the 'box' provided by my provider (we call it a 'livebox' in french...)
|
When I said "linux box" I meant the computer running Fedora that has calibre installed.
There will be a lot of information in the debug logs. There are two, one for calibre and one for CC. The FAQ answer
How do I get help? describes how you get these logs.
