When wifi worked on antiX-21, I followed ChatGPT, which explicitly stated that b43 module (and other network modules) conflict with wl module, and to remove them with modprobe. Anyway, removing and inserting b43 module, then using ‘ip a’ shows nothing.

If you initially had the wl driver working in antiX 21, then it should probably still work on antiX 23. If Xunzi’s suggestion doesn’t work, then check the Network Assistant app that the wl module is not being blocked.

wlan0 shows up with ‘ip a’:

$ sudo modprobe -r b43 bcma 
$ sudo modprobe -r wl
$ sudo modprobe wl
$ ip a
1: lo
2: eth0
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000

‘ip link set up wlan0’ changes state to ‘UNKNOWN’. Similarly, ‘nmcli’ scan brings up no results.
