Hi. I have seen at least one other discussion regarding some wifi problem in antiX-19.2.1, but I think it’s not the same case, so I open a new thread in order to avoid the confusion.
After a fresh installation of antiX-19.2.1 (base), I open ceni to enable wifi but, after clicking on “Scan”, the result is this message:Scanning for wireless networks..Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant rfkill: WLAN soft blocked ctrl_iface exists and seems to be in use - cannot override it Delete '/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0' manually if it is not used anymore Failed to initialize control interface '/run/wpa_supplicant'. You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was left by an unclean termination of wpa_supplicant in which case you will need to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again. nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0System: Host: presario Kernel: 4.9.212-antix.1-486-smp i686 bits: 32 compiler: gcc v: 8.3.0 Desktop: IceWM 1.6.5 Distro: antiX-19.2.1_386-base Hannie Schaft 29 March 2020 base: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Machine: Type: Laptop System: Hewlett-Packard product: Presario 2100 v: KE.M1.54 serial: <filter> Mobo: Hewlett-Packard model: 002A v: NS570 Version PQ1A74 serial: <filter> BIOS: Phoenix v: KE.M1.54 date: 12/17/20022 CPU: Topology: Single Core model: Mobile Intel Celeron bits: 32 type: MCP arch: Netburst Northwood rev: 7 L2 cache: 256 KiB flags: pae sse sse2 bogomips: 3190 Speed: 1595 MHz min/max: N/A Core speed (MHz): 1: 1595 Graphics: Device-1: AMD RS200M [Radeon IGP 330M/340M/345M/350M] vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: radeon v: kernel bus ID: 01:05.0 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: ati,radeon unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: 1024x768~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI R100 (RS200 4337) x86/MMX/SSE2 DRI2 v: 1.3 Mesa 18.3.6 direct render: Yes Audio: Device-1: ULi M5451 PCI AC-Link Audio vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: snd_ali5451 v: kernel bus ID: 00:06.0 Sound Server: ALSA v: k4.9.212-antix.1-486-smp Network: Device-1: ULi M7101 Power Management [PMU] vendor: Hewlett-Packard type: network bridge driver: ali1535_smbus v: N/A port: 2000 bus ID: 00:11.0 Device-2: National DP83815 Ethernet vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: natsemi v: kernel port: 2400 bus ID: 00:12.0 IF: eth0 state: up speed: 100 Mbps duplex: full mac: <filter> Device-3: Qualcomm Atheros TP-Link TL-WN821N v2 / TL-WN822N v1 802.11n [Atheros AR9170] type: USB driver: carl9170 bus ID: 1-1:2 IF: wlan0 state: down mac: <filter> Drives: Local Storage: total: 63.36 GiB used: 4.19 GiB (6.6%) ID-1: /dev/sda vendor: Toshiba model: MK6025GAS size: 55.89 GiB ID-2: /dev/sdb type: USB model: USB FLASH DRIVE size: 7.47 GiB Partition: ID-1: / size: 52.76 GiB used: 2.74 GiB (5.2%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda1 ID-2: swap-1 size: 2.00 GiB used: 6.8 MiB (0.3%) fs: swap dev: /dev/sda2 Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 46.0 C mobo: N/A Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A Info: Processes: 141 Uptime: 5h 41m Memory: 430.6 MiB used: 286.1 MiB (66.4%) Init: SysVinit runlevel: 5 Compilers: gcc: 8.3.0 Shell: bash v: 5.0.3 inxi: 3.0.36- This topic was modified 3 years, 1 month ago by andfree.

If you want to use ceni, you MUST remove connman conman-ui and follow the steps here:

Thanks for the reply, but now I’m afraid I have to tell all the story. It’s the second time I have installed antiX-19.2.1 (base) on this laptop. The first time, I tried with connman, but it didn’t work. The tray-icon for wlan0 remained black at all. Then I tried with ceni and the result was what I have written in my initial post. Afterwards, I followed the steps you suggest (you had already written about them on the other thread). After that, neither wireless nor cable connection worked. I decided to re-install the OS. Again, connman doesn’t seem to work (the tray-icon for wlan0 is black) and I’m in a dilemma if I should uninstall it and follow the same steps as before again.

Install base -19.2.1 It is a bugfix.
However, the tray icon is black is ok – right-click on it to choose wifi.
Wait a few seconds and left click on it and you should see the networks offered.- This reply was modified 3 years, 1 month ago by anticapitalista.

Sorry, I was tired, I actually meant base -19.2.1 (I edit my previous posts and the title).

1. Make sure /etc/network/interfaces only has these 2 lines
auto lo iface lo inet loopback2. reboot
3. Right click on the arrows, turn wired off and wifi on. (Do you get wifi option?)
4. Wait 5 seconds
5. Right click and you should be offered networks to connect to.

1. It already has only the two lines you wrote.
2. I turned on the laptop just before step 1 and I didn’t make changes, so no need to reboot again.
3. I ran “connman-ui-gtk” and the arrows appeared. I right-clicked on them, turned Wired off and let only WiFi on. The tray icon for eth0 disappeared and only the black one for wlan0 remained.
4. I waited for more than 5 seconds.
5. I right-clicked on WiFi and a connman-ui-gtk window appeared:Shared WiFi connection information SSID: Passphrase: Apply Cancel6. I completed the fields and clicked on “Apply”.
7. I tried to visit webpages, but without success.
8. I rebooted and tried to visit webpages again. No success, too.
9. I enabled Wired so as to be able to post here.- This reply was modified 3 years, 1 month ago by andfree.

Well it should have connected.
Can you ping?
I’m out of ideas.

At this moment, I’m using the same wifi adapter on a different laptop (antiX-19_386-full) to connect with the same wifi network and send this post and, as you can see, there’s no problem.

Weird. Had to stop and think for a sec. So. If me. I’d blame bells and whistles on the newer rig because the older rig does not have as many.
So something is turned off on the HP somewhere.

If I have another pen drive. I would try f ull instead of base on the HP. As a test.

Can you check that there is no hardware switch to turn off wifi or something.
Can you connect on both laptops running live antiX-19.2.1 base from a usb stick?
Do you plug it into a usb port? If so, can you try another one?

I find no such a switch. How could it be? Both laptops don’t have their own wifi. And the wifi adapter worked on both of them before installing 19.2.1-base to the HP one.
Do you plug it into a usb port? If so, can you try another one?
If you mean the OS, it’s installed on hard drive. If you mean the wifi adapter, changing usb port didn’t help.
Can you connect on both laptops running live antiX-19.2.1 base from a usb stick?
Toshiba has only one working usb port, so I can’t use a live-usb and the wifi adapter simultaneously. Could I try with a live-CD instead?
If I have another pen drive. I would try full instead of base on the HP. As a test.
I downloaded 19.2-full and 19.2.1-base isos to do all these tests, but the hashes doesn’t seem to be the right ones:

I downloaded the base.iso from sourceforge and the hash is ok. Now I’m downloading the full.iso.
