20 days ago I bought a new wifi antenna (my old wifi was very very cheap chineese) , as a result it was unable to connect…I installed the following distributions with the same result (Mabox - Mint - Zorin - Ubuntu - Archcraft - Manjaro - Garuda & many more…) the only distro that worked right away is MX linux why this happen ??? thank you for any answer…greetings from Greece
The name of the product and chipset used will be helpful.
If it’s USB, see the command output:
lsusb

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046d:c315 Logitech, Inc. Classic Keyboard 200

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
And the name? Producer?
mercusys wifi
The model may also be useful… (You should provide all this information in your first post)
Either way, look online for the name of the Linux driver for your card. And just install it.
I will not be able to install because I have no connection … 
when i use Mabox maybe it’s a reason to have it pre-installed in the next distribution of Mabox
If you have no other way to connect to the Internet, what is this thread for?
maybe it’s a reason to have it pre-installed in the next distribution of Mabox
So far you haven’t even determined which driver is needed. Model is also unknown.
Just search google with: Mercusys wifi MODEL linux driver
thank you again for your help
Looks like this line is important:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0bda:c811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11ac NIC
… and driver for it is included with linux kernel since 6.3
If this is true, it will soon be supported in Mabox. When released, the ISO with kernel 6.6 (which will be the next LTS version)
I will unfortunately have to wait until his next release of Mabox…I’ll wait…thank you again for your instant answer & for your help
Do you have time and ability to download a new ISO with 6.6 kernel?
If so, I can build such an ISO today and make it available on repo.maboxlinux.org
i…will…now…!!!
Wait… ISO is not ready yet… I have to build and upload it first 
It will take at least few hours…
waiting…please notify me when you are ready…thank you again…i mean that you are amazing…greetings from Greece
Ok, I will let you know here.
There is no 100% guarantee that this will work… but let’s try 
thank you so much
