I get the same result as you. There is no icon showing on the panel/taskbar/whatever but the wireless drivers load at boot. You MAY find that ifdown/ifup will work from the command line.

Another thing: I believe that antiX loads inxi by default. Try running:"inxi -Nn" and you should get an output a bit like this:

Code: Select all

$ inxi -Nn
Network:   Card-1: Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY driver: b43-pci-bridge 
           IF: wlan0 state: up mac: 0c:60:c3:4f:54:c6
           Card-2: Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller driver: r8169 
           IF: eth0 state: down mac: 00:60:e8:ec:6f:23
This gives your network info including the state of the IF's wlan0 & eth0. If it isn't loaded, you can get it thru' Synaptic, dpkg or apt-get.

Glad you got it working - well done!
