Hi there
I've been messing with the card today and i've not had much success, even with WEP. I'm using the Prism2v2 archieve from Aminet. I've installed it how it tells you to in the manual, with the command for wirelessmanger here on the startup > ;Run <>NIL: C:wirelessmanager prism2.device C:AddNetInterface QUIET DEVS:NetInterfaces/~(#?.info)
As my home network uses WPA2 and all my devices are set for this, I want the A1 to run on WPA2. I've successfully flashed PCMCIA netgear cards for my A1200's, both get online via WPA2 without a hitch.
I tried following the same process on the A1 as I had with the A1200's and the result is the machine boots but no internet. I tried running "wirelessmanger prism2.device" from the Shell and it just sat there.
While i've used amiga's for years, its only been recently that I've began venturing in to zorro cards and PCI cards on Amiga's. Configuring them isn't quite as straight forward as Winblows or Linux :P Tho getting my A3000 online with a X-surf wasn't as hard as i thought lol
I did try the card in a Win XP system which installed it fine, it would not however connect to my network, it didn't even see it! So i'm guessing this card will need flashing. The manual inside the Prism2v2 LHA doesn't mention where or how your flash the card.
I did try using the same software I used for the netgear cards, however the Winupdate software reported and error and I didn't want to brick the PCI card.
Really appreciate the help guys, hopefully get this wee beastie online.
Oh btw I have managed to get the A1 online using a Tenda W300M, which is how i'm managing to type a reply on the A1 and not the PC ;). So at least I've managed one way of getting online without a long cable running across the landing. Still, I'd like to use the PCI card in the Mig for the purpose it was intended for.
