I installed 13.2 on a a Compaq Presario 700 using :# cli-install"
and it installed fine.

Can't get wireless to work

antix recognizes the linksys adapter:

# /home/user# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUB
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:c52f Logitech, Inc. Wireless Mouse M305
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 13b1:0020 Linksys WUSB54GC v1 802.11g Adapter [Ralink RT73] <<<<<<-----*****

root@sda7:/home/user# iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys
root@sda7:/home/user# iwconfig
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"linksys"

How do I start wireless to get on internet?

Code: Select all

 inxi -Fxz
will reveal all.

Code: Select all

sudo ifconfig -a
will show wireless interface name

In Wicd wireless preference in the blank box type in what ifconfig gives as wireless interface. eg:wlano or eth1 or whatever it spits out.
Hit the refresh button in wicd and you will see you modem. Connect up from there.
It is Friday night and I am tipsy. So excuse my rambling post.

You may not be able to configure wicd without X.

You can use wicd-curses, if you have a non x system.
If you want to use wicd, for some reason

Six of one; half-dozen of the other. Half-empty or half-full?

As long as it works is all that matters.
