Hi Erol,
See HERE (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=45645) for more info.
In fact, if search this site for 'wireless' there might be some more info

There is currently a wireless driver for PCMIA 802.1b cards (A1200) that is working. There is also a Prometheus version(A3000 / A4000) of this same driver which should be finished soon.

There's also an AmigaOne version.

That page on amigaforever.com refers to a wired-to-wireless bridge that plugs into an Amiga's wired ethernet port.

I run a D-Link 810+ Wireless Ethernet Bridge from a normal Realtek 100Mbps Ethernet Card on my mediator.

It doesn't need any drivers it just plugs into the end of the ethernet cable and 'magically' transforms the signals into wireless ones.

Does anyone have a list of working cards?  I am looking for two, one for my A1200 and one for my A600.

Thanks

We sell the compatible cards in the shop: http://shop.amigakit.com

If you are buying three, you can have free postage to the states (email me and I'll give you a free p&p voucher).  Each card has been reduced at the moment by £5 for the next few days.

@Cyberus

The link does not work, never did.

Anyone have a list of working cards?  

Amigakit has some but with currency conversion it would be more than I can spend right now.

It certainly works with Mozilla/Firefox. The fact that the page is GZipped might confuse some browsers though, especially Amiga ones.

This (http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz) is the list I'm talking about. Only some of the cards in this list are compatible. See the actual news item linked to above for the exact requirements.

AFAIK there is no wireless driver for the Mediator.

What about those little WLAN adapters (http://www.asus.com/products/communication/wireless/wl-161/overview.htm)? I have one but I don't think that there are any USB drivers... (what sort of class should be bound such a device -cdcacm.class/rawwrap.class-, in order to be recognised as an eth/lan card?)
