I am brand new to antiX, I did a fresh install this morning using the antiX-15-V_x64-full ISO.
the install went fine, but I am confounded getting a wifi connection

I did find the network tool, it detects my devices, and I confirmed that my router uses WEP.
it is a simple 10 digit number code but it will not connect.

is there a trick or do I just need more coffee?
Thanks, peter in Baja

WEP. Ok. Not my strong point. I use WPA2-PSK password protection myself.

Might help. Might not. Good luck I guess.

Oh, screen shots are uploadable here and help troubleshoot problems like you have. There is a reduce screenshot size section in the screenshot.sh GTK application. If 1024X768. I use 60 percent for full screen shots. There is a select a section screenshot for gtk apps like Wicd-gtk also that require no reducing when posting.

I will be right back to show what I mean.

Well, lunch is ready. So I gotta go.
