Is it hard to get wifi work on antiX-net? Installing ceni is not enough. No wlan interface is shown. Nor does installing wireless-tools seem to help.

Well. Without a
inxi -Fxxxifconfig -aand since I have not tried antix-net. Kinda hard to say, really.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemsThanks for the reply. I also installed firmware-iwlwifi and firmware-atheros, but wlan interface is still not shown on ceni.

Atheros chips when using Debian always require firmware to be installed along with the athX drivers as far as I know.
Yours looks like it should use the ath9 driver. I do not see a athx driver in your inxi readout. Seems like you don’t have it.Have you followed these instructions yet in stretch. Enable the non free repo in your sources list on your net install.
apt-get updateThen when that is done
sudo apt-get install firmware-atherosI know you said you already did this. But just to make sure
lsusb -tdmesg | grep firmwarelspci -vlsmodJust some of the commands I use when I am stumped. Look for atheros related entries in terminal and post back. lsmod should have ath9k in it somewhere.
Lastly. Here is /sbin/ifconfig you can put in your net install. Make sure permissions match mine.
harry@biker:~ $ ls -l /sbin/ifconfig -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 79744 Dec 25 2016 /sbin/ifconfigMy uploaded ifconfig file is for 64 bit AntiX 17 only. I should have mentioned this.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemsThe non-free repo is already enabled in the sources list.
$ sudo apt-get install firmware-atheros ... firmware-atheros is already the newest version (20161130-3).lsusb -t
dmesg | grep firmware
lspci -v
lsmodNo atheros related output for the commands above; no ath* at all. But I also tried the same commands on a live antiX-base session. No ath* output too, although wifi works on antiX-base.

I don’t know how to reply from here. Maybe someone else has better advice than mine.

ok, thanks
Let’s insert the module:
sudo modprobe -i ath9k_htc
then run lsmod again to insure the atheros module has been insertedif so then run sudo iwconfig to ascertain if we have ath0 or wlan0, etc. If so then
go to ControlCentre and use cenicheers,

Did you update initramfs after installing the drivers? Not sure you need to but couldn’t hurt to try.

Hm,
$ ifconfig -a bash: /sbin/ifconfig: cannot execute binary file: Exec format errorsounds to me like a 64bit-version of ifconfig on your 32bit system.
You can install net-tools for to use ifconfig.
To look what you your device-id says, please output of
modprobe -c | grep -i "0cf3.*1002"- This reply was modified 5 years ago by caprea.
