This version of prism2.device supports WPA and WPA2 encryption, including
both TKIP and CCMP (AES) encryption modes.
You can download it here: http://aminet.net/driver/net/prism2v2.lha

What's the difference between this release and the WPA2-capable one that I purchased?
-
Probably nothing. I also payed for it.
There's history in the readme file though, perhaps some bugs has been fixed.

@thread
a big thanks to neil for releasing this update to the general public. i've gone ahead and installed the OS4-native device on my SAM, and, so far so good with my old NETGEAR MA311 PCI NIC. also a big thanks to those that registered and allowed for continued development of this driver.

Cool. Works for me; I'm happy to have supported its development. Looks like I have something to keep me from reading for class tomorrow!
-
A bounty will be a good solution for this cases.

It seems to work, I am connected on my X1000 using the new Prism device.
IHowever it breaks the commodity WiFSignal which gives a nice display of your connection strength and a useful dock showing you are connected.
On running WiFiSignal I now get "Please update prism2 device to at least version 1.6".
The dock also shows me as being OFFLINE which I am abviously not or I could not post this message.
It looks as if WiFiSignal needs updating to recognise that 2.4 is actually newer then 1.6 !
-
Is it working good?
I registered it last year for WPA support, reflashed my MA401 board. It was working until the internet connection always freezes in about 10 min. The author has worked a lot on my problem, but i have finally lost interest in it and gone back to classi wired NIC for my A1200.

You might have an old version of WifiSignal; mine doesn't do that, however it doesn't work either. Curty is aware.
@all
If you use the new free version I'd encourage you to send a small donation to Neil for all his hard work.

What should the firmware of our cards should be? I have the one bought from AmigaKit... And how do I update the firmware? I guess I need to find some kind of 16bit PCMCIA card reader for my PC?
-
Translation of my swedish guide
This is how i did with my Netgear MA401 (not sure if one should use the same firmwares for other NICs).
On the PC:
Installed drivers for the MA401: http://support.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/592/session/L2F2LzEvc2lkL2dHNDlJdndr
Installed WinUpdate
Rebooted because the program wouldn't start unless i rebooted.
Started the program
Checked my current FW-version with Query Firmware Version
Downloaded the following files from http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/firmware/1.7.4 (There are newer versions but Neil told me to use these)
pk010101.hex 02-Jul-2003 01:38 16K
sf010704.hex 02-Jul-2003 01:38 171K
Choosed add files in WinUpdateFlash, started with
pk010101.hex and then sf010704.hex clicked Continue to start
the flashing.
On the Amiga it was pretty simple because of nice installscript. The installer
asked for ssid and encryptionkey and created a config-file automatically and
also added the program which sets encryptionkey to the user-startup file.

I am using the latest one on OS4Depot, WiFiSignal 1.4.3 (14/02/2008).
I am glad to hear the author is aware of this, you never know if a developer is still around when the last version is from 2008.

Hmm, odd. Maybe it's an Update 4 thing? I haven't tried it since updating.

He even mentioned it again in December so hasn't forgotten :)

Those files look pretty old to me, so any card that's been sold the last few years should already have the latest version on them. Or not ?!?

Is this for the Linksys WPC11 V3? I think it has Prism 2.5 chipset.
thanks.

Should be atleast for the netgear ma 401, same one as I have. Dunno about others.
-
Is it me or WEP no longer works with this version? (installation only asks for WPA key. I tried setting it manually)

Mine didn't.

I suspect no new Prism-II cards were manufactured after that time (2003). I haven't heard of anyone finding a Prism-II card with WPA-capable firmware already installed.

WEP should still work (but in most cases you'd be better off using the old version of the driver). Did you follow the example of setting a WEP key in the manual?

These were awesome news indeed!
I was wondering if PCI adapters like:
- 3COM --> 3CRDW696
- D-Link --> DWL-520 (Hardware revision B2 or earlier)
- Netgear --> MA301, MA311
...could be used in a Mediator/GREX system as they can on Pegasos, or there are the issues with the driver assuming that the card BIOS has been executed (it is executed by the openfirmware x86 emulation on Pegasos and Efika). Is this the same case as the Radeon PCI driver for example on GREX?
Also, afaik there is no support for USB Prism2 adapters on Poseidon right to be able to use these on a Deneb?

How does WPA2 pan out on 68k , does it crawl ?

It's usable. My results with the commercial release here:

@mfilos
Unlike graphics cards, wireless network cards don't have a BIOS, so that isn't an issue. If the card is hardware compatible with the PCI busboard, the driver should work under OS4.
There will probably never be support for Prism-II USB adapters, but I might port my Realtek 8187B 802.11g driver from AROS to OS3.x.

Well the netgear ma401 [rev. D V2.5], which i bought in 2008, should atleast have a newer version than the one you advise:

pk010101.hex 02-Jul-2003 01:38 16K
sf010704.hex 02-Jul-2003 01:38 171K
Or am i wrong here ? Can't see which version is on the card, as i don't have a pcmcia slot in the pc.
:afro:

Ooooh... so close. I have an 8188 (802.11n) lying around which might be quite useful on OS4.

Does the card or its packaging say that it was manufactured in 2008 too? If not, I still think it left the factory about 5 years before you bought it. :)

That was more or less the question. What was made earlier, the card or the sw package (from 2003) ?! :confused:

If you are trying this with Allied Telesyn AT-WCL452; I couldn't get Winupdate to update the firmware in my card. I was in contact with Neil about this so I think he thought I got it working (as it says it works in the Guide). I'm presuming I'm the only person trying with this card - if I got it working I would have paid for it at the time (Amiga developers need all the help they can get). Still on WEP with the old driver but it works fine that way.

How do you actually set it up for running on a WPA2 network, i've gone through the manual and can't seem to find what i need to enter in to the Wireless prefs file.

I found this topic again while searching..
I'm having problems setting the wireless card using prism2v2.
To test if the card I got from Amigakit had problems with with wpa and wpa2 (maybe old firmware), I tried wep and it's still not working.
The funny thing is that as far as I remember I once did make it work 2 years ago but it was slower than the wired card (which no longer works) using Amiga Explorer and I needed to quickly transfer many files over a long period of time and I continued using the wired card.
Now I can not set it up.
My router is a Linksys.
The options for security are WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA2-Mixed, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise and RADIS.
I tried WEP, WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal and WPA2-Mixed (I think this one accepts both wpa1 and wpa2).
Used the config files suggested inside the prism2v2 manual. Tried Easynet's updated program to make it set things up. Nothing. :)
The old prism2.device works for wep.
