Hey everyone, I'm new here and I'm having a bit of a tech issue. I recently got a budget laptop that I want to use for programming, so I decided to install antiX because it's one of the lighter options out there. I've got everything set up, but now I'm stuck trying to connect to Wi-Fi. I have ConnMan installed, but it doesn't recognize any networks at all. I can't even identify the Wi-Fi card because it's not showing up, and I didn't find any settings in the BIOS related to it. Surprisingly, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly fine when I had Windows 10 on it. I've searched online, but couldn't find anyone with the same problem. Any suggestions on how I can get this working? Thanks a lot! (And sorry if my English isn't great; I'm not a native speaker.)

If you can't find a solution, it might be worth investing in a compatible Wi-Fi dongle. There’s a good list of USB Wi-Fi adapters that are supported by Linux, which could save you a lot of hassle!
You might want to give MX Linux Xfce a shot. It’s based on antiX but comes with some additional features that might help, especially with Wi-Fi drivers that can be tricky sometimes.
You could try running `nmtui` in your terminal to see if it helps you find any network options. If you're having trouble with that, using an Ethernet connection might be a temporary fix until you figure out the Wi-Fi issue.
What's the model of your laptop? Sometimes the Wi-Fi model is printed on the bottom near the brand name, so it might help to check there.
What version of Linux are you using? Try opening the terminal and running the command `rfkill list all`. Post the results here, and we can go from there.
