Title: Amiga 1200 pcmcia wifi setup
Post by: Roger_S on August 25, 2008, 07:01:06 PM

As the tile says. I'm trying to connect my a1200 to a wifi router.

Setup:
A1200
AOS 3.9
16bit PCMCIA wifi card
prism2 driver

I'm pretty sure the card is recognized and working as unit 0
as the genesis tools configures fine.
when I use the follwing commands from shell (written in the manual that came along with the card)

setprism2defaults ssid amiga
setprism2defaults key 1234567890

Should be ok, right?

Then I start the genesis tool to enable to wificard, but the output tells me this:

bootpc_send: sendto
bootp failed

I have no idea what to look for.

AFAI remember in my setup I used the following line after the AmiTCP Assign in User-Startup:

C:SetPrism2Defaults SSID KEY

Then everything worked like a charm :)

Edit: The Genesis config was made easily by the Wizard plus some alterations to the prefs.
I found it pretty easy compared to manual AmiTCP installation with WiFi over my A600. Both work just fine though

That is basically what I did. Still no response. I also removed the WEP key from the router to see if it would connect.

Genesis does not now it's way with DHCP (wich is not the same as bootp). Works fine with static adres...
