WiFi in MX is recognized, but anti-X does not.

[Kermit the Frog]

They are different. 6.1 (in fact 6.01) vs. 6.10 ... (also antiX vs. Liquorix) ...

Yes, it's possible to install 6.10 (even more recent: 6.11) on antiX, too however probably that's not the source of the problem as anything > 5.12 is enough ....

[CatManDan]

just looked up the hardware ID of your wifi card. It is possible that your wifi card is not fully supported on 6.1, so upgrade the kernel. Also, do get the latest firmware packages (at least firmware-iwlwifi).

[ripxrip]

snip

[codesudo dmesg | grep -i iwlwifi[/code]
to see whether it shows something's missing and we can "pinpoint" .

ok, used mx to update anti-x
(worked great btw) = no change

booted from anti-x and ran dmesg command and got:

Code: Select all

[    3.065645] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)

I don"t know how to do that, and the posts I see are for how to move the kernel back with package installer.

[ripxrip]

there is a 6.1.90-antix in synaptic. There are other kernels, but none labeled antix.

[Kermit the Frog]

If you have Windows, too: Disable "Fast Startup" there (for it keeps devices engaged). If no Windows: Reset Bios to factory defaults.

[ripxrip]

no windows, no change with bios at default

[Kermit the Frog]

Ok, then we can try the most recent Liquorix kernel:

You already know how to "chroot" ... this time after the prompt chroot>

Code: Select all

mkdir Liquorix ; cd Liquorix ; wget https://liquorix.net/debian/pool/main/l/linux-liquorix/linux-headers-6.11.7-2-liquorix-amd64_6.11-12.1~bookworm_amd64.deb https://liquorix.net/debian/pool/main/l/linux-liquorix/linux-image-6.11.7-2-liquorix-amd64_6.11-12.1~bookworm_amd64.deb ; apt install ./*.deb ; update-grub ; cd .. ; rm -rf Liquorix ; echo 'blacklist ntfs3' | tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ntfs3.conf

(Yep: copy-paste-Enter the whole at one go).

... Exit and boot with antiX (the new kernel will be the default automatically).

[ripxrip]

sorry it took so long, I had dinner with a side of problems. My MX usb would not boot when the anti-x usb was in and if I put it in after it booted the linux would not be recognized. It took me awhile to figure this out. I ended installing the anti-x to my sdd and tossing that usb. It worked. Unfortunately. the new kernel didn't fix the no wifi problem. here is the new inxi

Actually, I'm just going to use MX. Every time I fix something with Anti-X, I run into a new problem. MX just works all around. I will just deal with the slower machine to have the reliability of MX.

Thank you for helping me with anti-x. Hopefully, I won't have any issues with mx that I can't fix myself.

Thanks again,
ripx
