WiFi

[AZgl1800]

Thanks for info and pic--much-appreciated.  Yeah that doesn't sound right.  Need to respond later/too late in my day.  I know almost nothing is more frustrating as the inability to get a basic interface authenticated as it happened here months ago.  What does:

Code:

inxi -N

  say, BTW?

Basically, (a) you're not alone (b) antiX & DSL have 2 tools for this -- Connman and Ceni (and Network Assistant under Maint in Control Center), and © Connman is the default and will stubbornly restart unless you choose Ceni. 

For now, if you want to try anyway, in the Control Center under Select Wifi Application choose Ceni (instead of Connman).  Then again in the Control Center under Network choose Network Interfaces (that's Ceni) and see if you can make your way through the prompts. 

Looks like a stack of threads [url=https://www.antixforum.com/]upstream[/code]  on the forum with that same "agent" error.

Okay, I tried Ceni once, don't recall what happened there,
The ACER Aspire One has a hardware BROADCOM  WiFi adapter, but it shows to be OFF,
and when I press Fn/WiFi  it does not toggle,

so apparently, Anti-X is not recognizing the Hardware Switch ??

here is a pix of the Terminal message.  Too long to type out.

if that pix don't work.

okay, went to Ceni and that took me to Terminal to configure the WiFi card.
What it does NOT show, is the USB WiFi dongle I am using right now, but Conman does see the WiFi dongle.

BUT, Conman will not accept WPA protocol, and that is the only protocol I have on my local WiFi channels.
I have 3 each 2.4g and 3 each 5g WiFi channels....

yep, I am T-Mobile wireless, one Gateway and Two hotspots.
