Hi!

I've got a TP-Link WN422G Wi-Fi adapter. Is there any method to make it working on antiX 13?

Could you plug in the device and post the output of lsusb and / or inxi -n here
That way we can see what chipset that WiFi adapter is using.

Also could you post the output of ifconfig.
With that we can determine if it has a driver that allows it to show as an interface.

If it does have a valid interface it may be as simple as setting up this wireless interface in prefferances of wicd or running ceni instead.

I think that adapter uses ath9k and requires atheros-firmware. I know the firmware is installed. assuming the kernel includes the ath9k driver, it should work out of the box.

The new firmware should be written in:

Older firmware map:
AR9271 - ar9271.fw
AR7010 - ar7010.fw or ar7010_1_1.fw

Newer firmware map:
AR9271 - htc_9271.fw
AR7010 - htc_7010.fw
