Yeah, I did. That's what I'm saying. When I manually loaded the drivers it did not add the hardware to ifconfig.

Above is a old kernel test readout of mine back in 2011 in Antix

I don't know why you cannot copy and paste a readout from rox terminal which is used in AntiX along with urxvt. Did you md5sum check your AntiX downloaded iso before burning the cd at slow 4x speed? You should be able to get online with a ethernet cable using wicd or ceni in AntiX also. But connection on Ethernet cable should have carried over from live session and the connection should have been automatic also (running live).

Also. Do not run inxi as root or sudo user. You will cut off the readout with a bunch of n/a then.
Just run it as a user like I showed in my above readout.

Edit: just to show I am not the only one who has no trouble with AntiX and your
