i had the same problem on antix linux
it got solved here is the summary

SUMMARY

Problem: My USB WiFi adapter was not getting recognized by antiX 19.3, therefore I was not able to connect to WiFi

-> I was asked to execute this in terminal ~ inxi -Fxxxz ,for getting all information about of my system to check if the drivers are already available in antiX or if I have to update the kernel or install specific firmware.

-> I was asked to execute this in terminal ~ lsusb , for checking what chip set is present in my WiFi adapter
After executing this was one of the output
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
therefore It ended up being a realtek rtl8188fu.

-> Many have had problems with it and someone created a .deb installer for both the firmware and kernel driver, but I need at least kernel 4.19.XXX
Xecure checked in antiX 19.3 and the firmware is NOT included. To get it to work, I would have to install antiX on the System (if not done), update the kernel and test if the wifi USB adapter works out of the box. If it doesn’t, I can get the .deb installer from https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu

Copying and running the commands one at a time from the first gitlab link should be enough to install both the driver and firmware.

Then I can follow the other optional instructions to disable some features, as recommended. The set of instructions for disabling MAC Address Spoofing is only relevant for Network Manager (not used by default in antiX, which uses connman).

-> I did exactly as stated above
1. updated the kernel
(I needed to connect though Ethernet or using your phone (connected with USB), to install the 4.19 kernel, run Package Installer (white icon in the panel), search for kernel, and install the kernel-antix one that in the description mentions LTS (4.19.XXX).)
2. copied and ran the commands one at a time from the first git lab link.(https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu
3.then all problems solved I went to connman and I could see WiFi option now (for more clarity read the article by Xecure https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic ... ntix-19-2/ and watch the video)


hope this migth help MX users to come to a proper solution

i never had it connect to any wifi point, rtl8188eus showed wifi signals but could not connect to any. have tried kelebek333 drivers as well.

Section 3.4.2 of the manual has detailed troubleshooting steps for solving that very problem.

Thanks. Jaym sar, will check out, don't have the wifi dongle though, the new one is sufficient for me. But will check it when I can.

I got the old system back git the 5.8 antix kernel on it after a full upgrade to 19.4 and with rtl8188fu usb the wifi network were visible but could not connect if I were to remove the rtl8188fu usb and connect the ralink one it connected and worked fine.
I refered the 3.4.2 section but can't seem to get a concrete path later
