      I try to use Antix on a Latitude D820 laptop.
      When I try to use wifi, and start the MX Network Assistant (or Ceni) I get the message WiFi hardware switch is off.

      When I try Lubuntu on the same laptop (same switch-setting) it runs without issues.

      Even when I switch off the use of the switch in the bios, I get the same results.

      How can I fix this?

      Thanks!

        With Connman
        antiX 19.2.1 base
        Hit the network icon in the system tray. Move the wifi switch ON. Connect
        antiX 19.2 full
        Control Center > Network > Wifi Connect (Connman). Move the Wifi switch to on (green).

        Without connman (only Ceni)
        antiX 19.2 full -> uninstall Connman

        Change the uninstall code to:
        sudo apt-get remove --purge connman connman-ui-gtk connman-bluetooth-firmware-antix
