See this:
NOTE: All base versions are antiX-19.2.1 since I re-uploaded the iso files because there was an issue with connman wifi connection. Apologies to those who downloaded antiX-19.2 base versions.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
For the benefit of other antiX users struggling with wifi connectivity,
here`s my summary of the instructions by BobC
(which is the only way I`ve found so far that connects after antiX 19.2.1 multiple boots )
from a liveUSB run 19.1.2 base 386
DO NOT click ceni OR wpa_gui on any of the menus
Instead, on the Internet menu, click Connman Setup
You`ll barely see the wifi icon on the taskbar, at left of the volume icon
R-click this icon, and turn wifi ‘on’ and wired ‘off’
Next, L-click the same icon and hold it, until a list of wifi access points appear, then mouse to your AP and enter your passphrase
Next use the antix installer to install antiX 19.2.1 on your HDD…your wifi setup will carry over to the install.
When the install is complete, boot the newly installed and
your wifi connection will automatically be ‘UP’ after the boot completes, without using taking additional steps or commands
FYI: Attached is the output of a few CLI commands I ran to verify wifi was connected
