Good morning and welcome to the forums,
your GM41m-VS3 is quite an old motherboard, not made for the international market, so no quick answers. it came with an Athros network controller for Ethernet but no built-in wi-fi, so we need to determine what your WI-FI is, open a terminal in your MX21 installation and type [or copy/paste] inxi -Nnz and paste back the full report [if inxi is not currently installed , it can be done using the MX software manager]

Hello, good afternoon, in response to your answer to my question, I entered the command that you suggested and this was the result... (As I said before, it is my first time in Linux and I don't know anything about commands...)
Network: No pci device date found
Device-I: Realtek RTI8188FTV 802.11b/g/n ITIR 2.4G Wlan adapter type USB
Driver: N/A
As you can see, I don't know what I should do about it... I will greatly appreciate your help... Thank you.

You need to build/ install the correct wi-fi driver for this chipset
you will need to be connected to the internet either by hard wire to the router or by means of a tethered data mobile.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install –reinstall build-essential bc git dkms git clone https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu
sudo dkms add ./rtl8188fu
sudo dkms build rtl8188fu/1.0
sudo dkms install rtl8188fu/1.0
sudo cp ./rtl8188fu/firmware/rtl8188fufw.bin /usr/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/

Just a word of advice....
Enter each command line separately and hit enter after each one
Copy and paste each line from @Brickwizard's post to ensure accuracy.

Thank you for your unconditional support, but I have had technical problems with the connection... I have not been able to get a Cel to connect and to make matters worse my motherboard does not recognize the Ethernet driver... so until I get a connection, I will be able to download and update the RTl8188fu driver... I already downloaded it in Windows but I don't know how to install it in MX Linux, thank you, very grateful to everyone...
